people.
(Adaptated from definition of CNAMTS (Caisse Nationale de l’Assurance Maladie des Travailleurs Salariés).

Why do we need a rule?
• Definitions and requirements are different in both Host States, but the goal is
the same, ensure safety of lone workers (lone working can make rescuing a
person more difficult in case of accident)
• Reminder
• the need to identify all types of lone working
• the need to assess risks
• Refresh and remove ambiguities of the current Safety Code A6 and Safety Note
NS8 published in 1982
• Adapt the rule with the use of new devices as “Lone Worker Mandown Device”
(TETRA/DATI)

Main choices
• Definition adapted from CNAMTS (Caisse Nationale de l’Assurance Maladie des
Travailleurs Salariés). Lone working not necessarily linked to hazardous works.
• Risk assessment for each type of lone working.
• Possibility in some specific cases to use “Lone Worker Mandown Device”
(TETRA/DATI) (
warning : sometimes not suitable )
• List of jobs requiring special supervision, adaptation of French and Swiss
regulations
• Allow lone working during night and closure periods.

Principle (general)
• Give priority to not working alone
• In all cases, assess the risks and take into account:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Location and type of work ;
Capacity and fitness of the lone worker;
Probability of occurrence of the identified risk;
Gravity level of possible accident including potential injuries
Possibility to alert and of rescue
Time to take into account the victim

Principle (in case of accident)
•
Possibility to move away from the source of danger and to raise the alarm,
and victim can await rescue :
• appropriate means of communication
•
No possibility to move away from the source of danger or to raise the alarm and
victim can await rescue :
• appropriate technical means or organisational procedures to alert
the CERN Fire and Rescue Service
•
Victim shall be immediately rescued : at least two persons
• earshot of or in visual contact with a third party, or
• continuous surveillance by a third party

Continuous surveillance by a third party
•
•
•
•
•
•
Work in confined spaces;
Work on installations or in service rooms containing live electrical equipment;
use of explosives during building and public works or agricultural work;
Work in chimneys or large heating installations;
Work in hyperbaric or pressurised locations or involving compressed air;
Work in, or on the banks of, rivers, streams, pools or other bodies of water where
there is a risk of someone falling into the water;
• Work where the risk assessment shows the need for continuous surveillance by a
third party.
Safety guideline will explain, lone working is authorised where there is no possibility to be in
contact with electrical parts or of short circuit.
•Restart of PC
•Reset of a breaker on 400 V electrical cupboard installation with low current of short circuit
(Ik3<3kA)
•Rearming air conditioning
•Correction of the fault on UPS
•Correction of the fault on 48V
