CERN LIFTING EQUIPMENT USE AUTHORISATION

Updated procedures to obtain authorisation to use lifting equipment at CERN have been put in place. As a general rule, lifting equipment at CERN may be operated only by qualified staff, i.e. those who have had intensive training in and adequate experience of using such equipment. However, for straightforward recurrent lifting operations, the Organization issues authorisations to operate lifting equipment at CERN to people who have followed a suitable course of training. The authorisation to use lifting equipment is valid for five years.

More information about the procedures will be found at the following addresses:

  • CERN Staff:
