CERN Accelerating science

This Safety Regulation bans smoking in all enclosed or covered spaces on CERN premises as well as in all CERN vehicles. The prescriptions enforced by this Safety Regulation shall apply to all persons present on the CERN site.

The purpose of this General Safety Instruction is to define the minimum Safety requirements for all types of visits on the CERN site.

The purpose of this General Safety Instruction is to define the minimum Safety requirements for lone working.

This General Safety Instruction defines the obligations regarding the protection of Workers against the risk that results or may result from exposure to Noise.

The purpose of this General Safety Instruction is to define the minimum requirements regarding the selection, provision, use and maintenance of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at CERN.

Definition of responsibilities and organizational aspects concerning safety inspections, with emphasis for buildings.

This code defines for CERN the standard safety colours and safety signs (European or specific to CERN) to give information on existing risks or dangers and to indicate an interdiction, a warning, a mandatory action, an emergency escape, or the location and identification of first-aid and fire-fighting equipment. It is based on the EEC Directive 91/C53/06.

The purpose of this Safety Guideline is to aid in the implementation of the risk assessment process laid down in the framework of the Safety Regulation SR-OHS - Occupational Health and Safety.

This Safety Guide is a help for tender writers. It makes it possible to integrate aspects related to safety into the tender documents.
This guide is based on a summary of the responses provided by the HSE unit when verifying over 800 tenders.
The application of this guide does not relieve the writer from contacting HSE specialists as early as possible in the writing process and sending calls or requests for offers to the HSE unit.
This Safety Guide cancels and replaces the Safety Guide GS-0-0-1 

This Safety Guideline is intended to assist with understanding and applying General Safety Instruction GSI-SH-1 "Visits on the CERN site", version 2. This guideline is partly based on comments, questions and remarks gathered during the consultation phase of the Safety Rules drafting process.

This Safety Guide is an aid to the understanding and application of General Safety Instruction GSI-SH-2 - Isolated Work, version 1.
This guide is based in part on the comments, questions and comments gathered during the consultation phase as part of the GSI-SH-2 General Safety Instruction - Isolated Work, or following its publication .

This Safety Guideline provides guidance as to the implementation of Safety Rule GSI-SH-4 “Protection of Workers against Noise” in particular with regard to the evaluation of the Noise exposure risk of Workers and Noise control.

Please refer to IMPACT.

The purpose of these Safety Forms is to aid in the implementation of the risk assessment process laid down in the framework of the Safety Regulation SR-OHS - Occupational Health and Safety.

This Safety Form is to be completed by the organiser of an event to inform the HSE Unit and provide the data needed for defining security requirements.

When necessary safety inspections (general, electrical, structural, etc.) will take place before the start of the event.

To help you in organising your event, the Safety Guide "15 key issues to address the safety aspect of your event" is available on the official website of safety rules (https://edms.cern.ch/document/1274277/4).

This Security Form SF-SH-1-0-1 "Official Guided Tour Request" is a tool to assist in the implementation of General Safety Instruction GSI-SH-1 "Visits to the field of CERN "for any official guided tour for which there is no Safety Visit file.
This Safety Form is for the relevant partners; it will be adapted according to the possible evolution of the tour circuit.

This Safety Form is an assessment grid to help determine the preventive and emergency measures to be taken into consideration for all lone working, as defined in GSI-SH-2.
This form applies only to members of the CERN personnel (MPE and MPA) and not to CERN's contractors or their personnel.

This Safety Form applies a methodology to estimate the Daily Exposure Level of a person to Noise.

This memorandum replaces the memorandum DG/2017-290 'abolition partielle du code de sécurité A8', it being understood that Safety Code A8 is abolished.

This document describes CERN's policy on Noise footprint reduction and implementation strategy.

Step by step guide to adjust the workstation

The present memorandum defines the general principles and responsibilities regarding the COVID-19-related health and safety measures applicable during the period of CERN’s gradual restart following CERN’s safe mode in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is complemented by detailed instructions given in Annex 1, which will be regularly reviewed to take account of the evolution of the pandemic and any scientific and regulatory developments. Once CERN’s restart is complete, health and safety measures for CERNs operation will be covered by another memorandum.

Only in English

These instructions complement the Memorandum by the Director-General and the Head of the HSE Unit, entitled “COVID -19-related health and safety measures”, issued on 5th of May 2020.

These instructions shall apply as of 5th of May 2020 and until they are revoked. They will be reviewed and updated as needed, to take account of the evolution of the pandemic and of scientific and regulatory developments related to COVID-19.

CERN has defined specific COVID-19 related health and safety measures (the “COVID-19 measures”) applicable during the period of CERN’s gradual restart following CERN’s safe mode in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
