The Safety Coordination is involved from the conception stage and they are consulted if there are major modifications to be carried out.

There by ensuring that prevention is built in where ever possible.

This improves the working conditions, reduce risks, improves the quality of the work and therefore save time and money.

We take part in all phases of the operations we are involved, CERN wide.

A. The function and the name:“Safety Coordinator at

CERN" applies only to category A work

To protect everyone working on CERN sites.We take into account all the risks, resulting

from co-activity and successive activities.We ensure that the general principles of

prevention are implemented .We endeavor to prevent incidents and

accidents.Our work is based upon the information

provided by CERN staff members, collaborators, users, work package contractors…
