Launch of the occupational risk assessment procedure and creation of the single document for 2017

Work will begin this month on producing the Institut Pasteur's occupational risk assessment document. Two information meetings are being held for health and safety officers, the first on Tuesday February 6 at 2pm in the Jacques Monod lecture hall (on the lower ground floor level of the Jacques Monod building) and the second on Tuesday February 15 at 2pm in the "Retrovirus" room on the ground floor of the André Lwoff building.

The aim of the risk assessment procedure is to encourage every head of entity (laboratories, platforms and administrative, technical and support departments) to take an active role in risk prevention and improving working conditions. The risk assessment document should be produced by the entity head in cooperation with the health and safety officer and with the input of all staff. Action will then be taken to reduce or eliminate the risks identified during the assessment.

The information gathered should be entered into the IT application "Occupational risk assessment tool (DUER)", available on the intranet (Vie scientifique / Ressources techniques et environnement / Prévention des risques / Outil d'évaluation des risques professionnels – DUER).

Any questions about how to update your single document may be sent to evalrisk@pasteur.fr.

The original copy of the risk assessment should be signed and sent by internal mail to the Risk Prevention Department by Friday March 23, 2018 at the latest.
