Health & Safety at Work Prevention
Your
compliance issues
Whatever the type of establishment and the sector of activity concerned, it is the responsibility of owners, operators and employers to adopt prevention actions in order to guarantee the highest level of security for their employees, clients, tenants, patients or users.
The Apave Monaco team is at your side to help you meet these prevention challenges, whatever they may be:
- Securing your construction sites
- Carry out diagnostics (asbestos, lead) before works or before a real estate transaction
- Training and sensitizing your teams to the risks of fire of their workstation
- Verify the regulatory compliance and safety of your buildings, electrical installations and structures events or scaffolding
- Secure your stage equipment for public or private events
Our
fields of intervention
We offer several prevention services to ensure the health and safety of people on your sites, buildings, events and structures:
- CSPS (health and safety coordination) services, to assist the project owner in coordinating the health and safety prevention of his project
- Assistance in the prevention of risks and analysis at work in companies
- Asbestos and lead diagnostics (before work, sale, demolition...)
- Verification of the safety and solidity of CTS (Tents and Structures) and scenic installations (stands, stages, platforms, totems...) in prevention of your public or private events (live shows, sports events, concerts, conferences...).
All our interventions are carried out in perfect conformity with the Monegasque regulations specific to your sector of activity and the type of building concerned.
As an approved training center in the Principality of Monaco, we also offer a range of prevention training courses, with Apave* qualified expert trainers:
- First aid at work training (SST)
- Gestures and postures training
- SSIAP training for all levels (Fire Safety and Personal Assistance Service)
- Training for building guards
- Training for evacuation officers, guides and security guards
- First Response or Second Response team training: thanks to innovative devices (flame simulator and digital extinguisher), we are able to simulate realistic situations, in situ, in a smoke-filled area to teach your teams the correct actions to take when faced with the onset of a fire (use of extinguisher, warning chain, evacuation procedures, etc.)
All of these training courses can be held at Apave Monaco's premises or directly within your company in a realistic situation (except for specific technical installations), and can accommodate between 4 and 12 participants. On request, we can also carry out tailored awareness-raising activities on safety prevention in the workplace for your teams.

When should I carry out an asbestos diagnosis?
According to the ministerial decree n°97-595 of 12 December 1997 concerning the protection of the population against the risks linked to asbestos in buildings, it is compulsory to have an asbestos diagnosis carried out
- - for all buildings constructed before 12 December 1997
- - before any work requiring the removal or demolition of existing elements
Asbestos is a major public health issue. Indeed, asbestos fibres are highly toxic. Once inhaled, they can cause serious diseases such as lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma. Since 1997, asbestos has been banned in buildings, but it is still present in many old structures.
-
When should an SPS coordination mission be requested?
The aim of health and safety coordination (CSPS) is to protect the health and safety of workers on construction sites and to prevent the risk of accidents caused by the presence of several independent players on a construction site.
This mission is recommended on sites lasting more than 6 months, to assist you, as the project owner, in the design and construction phase of your project. The CSPS will also assist you in integrating the General Principles of Prevention in the context of subsequent interventions on the work for the company and the maintenance of the building. -
I am holding a private or public event with stage equipment. What are my verification obligations?
In order to ensure the safety of the public, artists and service providers, in accordance with Ministerial Order 92-503*, the event organiser must have the conformity of the stage installations (stage, arch, totem pole, etc.) checked. The usual checks must also be carried out on electrical installations specially added for the occasion (lighting, sound system, cooking equipment, load lifting, etc.). Finally, it will be compulsory to check the safety and conformity of tents larger than 16m2.
*Ministerial decree 92-503 of 04/09/1992 setting the conditions for the organisation of shows and other events in enclosed or open-air establishments receiving the public

As a building manager, what fire safety training should I provide for my security staff?
The training obligations depend above all on the category of the building concerned and are detailed in Ministerial Order n°2018-1080 of 21 November 2018 on the missions, employment and qualifications of building wardens and permanent staff of fire safety and personal assistance services. In particular, all buildings or establishments equipped with an SSI (fire safety system) are required to provide training for building wardens and electrical accreditation. In addition, all high-rise buildings (IGH) and 1st category ERP (with a capacity of more than 1,500 people) must provide the following training:
- - Initial SSIAP training
- - SSIAP refresher and upgrade training
- - Electrical authorisation
- - First-aid training for the workplace (SST)
- - Professional risk assessment
Our training materials take into account the specificities of Monegasque regulations.
