The CERN Safety PolicyThe CERN Safety Policy needs to reflect CERN’s specific legal, technical & operational features, such as:
• Intergovernmental Organization establishing its own legal framework as necessary for its proper functioning
• CERN is not subject to controls by national authorities
• Site straddling the CH-F border need to collaborate with host states (tripartite approach in radiation protection/safety, environmental protection and contractor safety
• Use of cutting-edge and unusual (“non state-of-the-art”) technologies
• major “industrial” sites, ~45 km of radiation areas radiation, …
• Dynamic installations according to research needs
• ‘Open’ organization with many users/trainees from institutes all over the world with a special legal status (associated members of personnel)
• Extensive presence of contractors on site

Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 7
The CERN Safety Policy
It covers all aspects of Safety:
• occupational health and safety of personnel
• environmental protection
• safety of equipment
• operational safety
It covers all stakeholders:
• members of the personnel (employed & associated)
• contractors operating on site
• neighbours and the general public (incl. visitors)

Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 8
The CERN Safety PolicyThe means are:
Continuous improvement in Safety, through:
• risk assessment
• return of experience
• regulatory watch
• safety training
• safety management system
Safety Rules, as necessary for functioning, taking into account
host states, EU- and international regulations
Emergency Procedures new in Policy
Proactive communication new in Policy
Collaboration with host states new in Policy

The CERN Safety Policy
Implementation principles
• Implementation at all levels of the Organisation • HSE Unit provides assistance and monitoring• Specific tasks are assigned to specialized units, as
necessary• Safety management to ensure follow-up and
updating of prevention objectives and Safety actions

SR-SO: ChallengesPrinciple reaffirmed:
Safety responsibilities follow the hierarchical line
but
• Radiation protection falls under the exclusive
responsibility of the radiation protection group
• Occupational medicine falls under the exclusive
responsibility of the medical service
• need to take into account CERNs matrix structure and the
specific situation of large collaborations like the LHC
Experiments

SR-SO: ChallengesFacilities (Complexes) and projects conducted in « matrix »
structure i.e. need for safety coordination in facilities/projects
Memorandum DG 2011 Safety structure with regard to the Organization’s
machine and experiment facilities (now integrated in SR-SO):
• Facilities ’grouped’ within Complexes (e.g. LHC, SPS, PS Complex)
• ‘Complex Manager’ nominated by and reporting to DG responsible for
safe operation of CERN Complexes
• Complex Safety Advisory Panels CSAPs (1/Complex) advising and
reporting to Complex Manager
At all levels need to ensure safety of ones own activities but also safe
interaction with those of others.

SR-SO: ChallengesSafety Management of CERN Experiments
Large Experiments (typically LHC Experiments) new
• Technical Coordinator (TC is CERN staff) represents
Experiment towards CERN in matters of Safety
• TC’s duties in matter of Safety similar to those of
a Department Head
• TC reports to Director responsible for the Large
Experiment and is supported by a Large
Experiment GLIMOS (LEXGLIMOS)

SR-SO: ChallengesSafety Management of CERN Experiments
Experiments (other than Large Experiments)
• Under the oversight of the head of hosting Department
collaborating institutions are responsible for Safety in
accordance with the CERN Safety Policy, the CERN
Safety rules and best practices
• The head of the hosting Department is supported by:
• The DSO, and
• an Experiment Safety Officer (EXSO)
nominated by her/him in consultation with the Experiment.

Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 16
SR-SO: ChallengesCollaborating institutions
• Responsibility of collaborating institutions for Safety
reaffirmed, i.e.
• Collaborating institutions shall ensure that their
personnel, activities and material they bring on site
comply with the CERN Safety Policy and Rules.
• Each collaborating institution nominates for each
activity and Experiment in which it participates a
‘Safety Correspondent’ who represents it towards
CERN in matters of Safety. “new”

Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 17
SR-SO: ChallengesCollaborating institutions
Safety Correspondent = contact between CERN and home
institution to channel information in matters of Safety
Aim:
• Allow CERN to fulfill its obligation to inform employer
about CERN work environment, including hazards, and
applicable procedures
• Allow home institution to fulfill its obligations as the
MPAs employer (cf. new policy regarding documents
required for obtaining a CERN dosimeter)
A. Goehring-Crinon & R. Trant
Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 18
SR-SO: ChallengesCollaborating institutions
• Possibility to nominate the same Safety
Correspondent for several activities or Experiments
• Possibility still to be discussed : if team leader has
been appointed will be the Safety Correspondent by
default
A. Goehring-Crinon & R. Trant
Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 19
SR-SO: Challenges
Contractors
• Responsibility of contractors for Safety reaffirmed
• Contractors shall ensure that their personnel,
activities and material they bring on site comply
with the CERN Safety Policy and Rules.
• Each contractor nominates a safety
correspondent who represents him towards
CERN in matters of Safety. ”new”

Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 20
SR-SO: new features• SR includes ALL Safety functions
(SAPOCO, HSE, Medical Service, Fire & Rescue Service)
• Terms of reference for FRS are a first!
• Safety functions defined in terms of responsibilities rather than detailed task descriptions
• Specifying minimal competency/experience for Safety functions (still to be completed)
• Explicit mention of Safety objectives to be defined regularly by the DG
A. Goehring-Crinon & R. Trant
Safety Policy & SR-SO EDMS # 1405698 21
Conclusion
• The revised Safety Policy and Safety Organisation follow modern standards in the field.
• What has worked in the past has been kept but CERN’s current needs and structure have been integrated.
The success of the Safety Policy and the Safety Organisation depends on you!
