12. CERN Safety Rules
Garanty a high level of Safety (European practice in occupational Safety)
Take account of the intergovernemental status of the Organization, .
CERN Safety rules are based on regulations, directives and standards of the Europen Union, if they exist and are deemed applicable to CERN.
For cases not covered by CERN Safety Rules, the regulation applicable in the competent Host State is used.

16. An example… Being appointed TSO…
I study GSI-SO-2, “Territotrial Safety Officer”
Find out about activities in « my » building
Enrol in the TSO course and actively participate
Read the most recent Safety Inspection reports
Identify safety-relevant equipment in the building: emergency exits and lighting, fire alarms and extinguishers, ,…
Present myself to personnel I don’t know yet.
