1. Safety at CERN
La Sécurité au CERN

2. What does Safety mean to you? Are you conCERNed about Safety?
Que signifie la « Sécurité » pour vous?
Are you conCERNed about Safety?
La Sécurité, ça vous conCERNe?
The SAPOCO 42 (Safety Policy Committee) defines the CERN Safety Policy and aims at improving Safety at CERN and promoting a real Safety culture within the Organization. Safety is a matter of vital importance and is the responsibility of each and every individual.
Based on the SAPOCO, « Safety is also a matter of common sense and individual initiative. It is everyone’s
duty to ensure that their actions do not put themselves or others in danger and to
act without delay to avoid a possible accident.”
- Condition or state of being safe;
Freedom from danger or hazards;
Exemption from hurt, injury, or loss
Fully available to function, not hindered
Safety management aims at eliminating or minimizing the risks and preventing potential accidents/incidents.
To protect your own Health & Safety, you must:
Take care of your own health and safety and
Take care of the effects of your actions (or lack of)
to people around you
to people later on: clients, customers, next in line etc.
(3) co-operate with others on health and safety,
(4) not interfere with, or misuse, anything provided for your health, safety or welfare.
(5) Ask question if something is unclear
Safety at CERN covers not only Health & Safety but also Environmental Protection.

The Fire Brigade and the Medical Service do not belong to the HSE Unit, and the TSOs and First Aiders belong to different Departments, which means that Safety is not only the HSE Unit concern but also the concern of all CERN Departments and Experiments.
There are a variety of CERN Safety actors (in Departments, Experiments, buildings…).
Today, I do not ask you to remember all, you will know it little by little.
Just to memorize 5 safety actors:
1 – The TSO of your building
2 – the First aiders in your work neighbourhood
3 – the Fire Brigade

10. HOW TO ASSESS AND MANAGE RISKS?
COMMENT EVALUER ET MAITRISER LES RISQUES?
STEP 1: Identify hazards and those at risks
ETAPE 1: Identifier les dangers et les personnes menacées
STEP 2: Evaluating and prioritising risks
ETAPE 2: Evaluer les risques et les classer par priorité
STEP 3: Deciding on preventive action
ETAPE 3: Déterminer les mesures préventives
STEP 4: Taking action
ETAPE 4: Adopter des mesures
STEP 5: Monitoring and reviewing
ETAPE 5: Contrôle et revue
To ensure your Safety at work, you have to undertake with your supervisor the risk assessment. This risk assessment must be a systematic examination of all aspects of your work that considers:
What could cause injury or harm
Whether the hazards could be eliminated and, if not,
What preventive or protective measures are, or should be, in place to control the risks
Remember:
Hazard can be anything – whether work materials, equipment, work methods or practices – that has the potential to cause harm
Risk is the chance, high or low, that somebody may be harmed by the hazards
STEP 1 – Identifying hazards and those at risks
Looking for those things at work that have the potential to cause harm and indentifying the way of exposure
STEP 2 – Evaluating and prioritising risks
Estimating the existing risks (their severity, probability…) and prioritising them
STEP 3 – Deciding on preventive action
Identifying the appropriate measures to eliminate or control the risks
STEP 4 – taking action
Putting in place the preventive and protective measures:
Priority must be given to collective Safety measures
Personal Protective Equipments must be used when the existing risks cannot be sufficiently limited by technical means of collective protection or work organisation procedures
STEP 5 – Monitoring and review
The assessment should be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure it remains up to date (e.g. significant changes, findings of an accident or near miss investigation)

Safety Rules
Règles Sécurité
The CERN has defined its Policy in matter of Safety.
Due to its international status and the fact that it is located part in France and part in Switzerland, the CERN has defined its own Safety rules to comply with European and Host States regulation requirements.
Safety rules follow a new classification based on four types of documents:
Safety Rules (SR) ;
Safety Plans and Safety Procedures (SP) ;
General Safety Instructions (GSI) ;
Specific Safety Instructions (SSI).
CERN Safety Policy and Safety Rules are available in the HSE Unit Website and are classified per domain.

21. A2 SAFETY FORM FORMULAIRE SECURITE A2
After something has gone wrong and the worst is over….
You HAVE to report the incident:
* to your supervisor
* in the electronic incident reporting form.
This can be difficult and the people involved often find it embarrassing, or not worth the trouble.
Yet, but without reporting the accident, it could or would happen tomorrow, next week, next month or next year.
I therefore kindly urge you to fill in the Safety Code A2 and to do as the Safety Rules prescribe.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
MERCI POUR VOTRE ATTENTION
HAVE YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS?
AVEZ-VOUS DES QUESTIONS?
The DG has said in his column about Safety he considers Safety his concern.
After this presentation on « Safety at CERN »:
Is your concern too. Make sure you are worthy of it. If in doubt, then ask:
Your supervisor;
Your colleagues;
The HSE Unit.
