Here are all the steps (to be done in the following order):

1. register at building 55 and having a CERN ID Card
2. pass the following safety courses on the Web on lms.cern.ch:
   • "Safety at CERN"
   • "CERN Beam Facilities"
   • "LHC Large Experiments" 
   • "CMS - Surface and Underground Areas"
   • "Radiation Protection - Supervised area", (attention if you need to work in a controlled radiation area, the classroom training course is mandatory: Safety training courses guidelines).
3. request a personal dosimeter at b.55 ground floor, "dosimetry service" 
4. register your biometric information at b.55, 1st floor
5. register for the self-rescue mask and the fire extinguisher training courses (2h. class-room course each): CERN training catalogue
6. order your helmet with chin-strap (SCEM : 50.43.30.210.6 or 50.43.30.211.7), your head lamp (SCEM: 50.43.30.255.3 or 50.43.30.250.8 or 50.43.30.249.7) and your safety shoes (SCEM: 50.43.10) on the CERN store: Catalogue 
   Enter the SCEM code in the research field on top (the left one) then once you found what you need just click the cart on the left.
7. request the access authorization to CMS_S, CMS_USC and CMS_UXC on Adams.
8. fill in a Workpackage on IMPACT.
9. pass by the SCX5 control room before each access to log in on the spreadsheet and to inform the shifter (with all your Personal Protective Equipments and respecting the 2-person rule) between 7h am and 7h pm (exceptions can be made with the Technical Coordination Team’s approval)
10. if necessary and depending on the access conditions, get an operational dosimeter (DMC, digital) and a self-rescue mask in the SCX5 control room from the shifter. Register it in the kiosk using your CERN access card.

And for CONTRACTORS? (updated April 2018)

In addition to the above steps, please follow these ones:

1. REGISTRATION: Fill in the registration form (needs company's stamp), which needs to be brought in original copy on the day of their arrival, together with a valid Identity document.
2. WORKING IN FRANCE(this is not needed if your company is in France): online declaration to be able to work on French sites (THUS ANY TIME TO WORK AT CMS): to be sent to the service in France ("inspection du travail"). Email : Rhona-ut01.declaration-psi@direccte.gouv.fr Tel: +33 474 45 91 35 Fax : +33.474.22.72.54. The original of such declaration and a document (fax receipt or e-mail) proving the fact it was sent to the office in France are needed on the first day.
3. RADIATION PROTECTION: follow the 10 steps above.

ATTENTION: for work outside "working hours" (including weekend and official holidays), AET mandatory (Avis d'Exécution de Travaux - Notice of start of work).

Some additional information on:

• Law applicable to contractors’ personnel
• Key reference documents
• Accès et activités sur le domaine du CERN des entreprises contractantes
• And very interesting one on Safety: Working CERN Site.

Please report it to the TSO of the building (you'll find her/his name on each door or on the SOS database: http://safety.cern.ch/) or to the CMS Technical Coordination at 16 5000 (from a CERN phone) or 0041 75411 5000.

Please contact the person in charge:

Please contact the LEXGLIMOS or his deputies at cms-safety@cern.ch or Dawn Hudson

Please have a look at:

• the CMS Safety Web site,
• CDS (http://cdsweb.cern.ch/),
• EDMS (https://edms.cern.ch/ui/#!master/navigator/document?P:1682997250:1982016093:subDocs, do not forget to log in),
• DocDB (https://cms-docdb.cern.ch/cgi-bin/DocDB/DocumentDatabase),
• the CMS Safety course on Learning Hub (lms.cern.ch).

You can use EDMS by entering the infrastructure number in the "Search" field on the top right of the page: https://edms.cern.ch.

CMS Safety Folder is that.

It is stored and updated on EDMS: https://edms.cern.ch/nav/CMS-0000005543

You'll find all the elogs on CMS Online/General/SLIMOS and on Infor EAM.

• Short-term visitor registration: more info here.
• To visit the CMS Point 5 surface exhibition & underground premises: Please book your visit in advance with Jacob Myhre or Dawn Hudson,
• Further information regarding CMS visits & guides can be found here.
• Everything you need to know about rules of private visits is here.

You can find all the necessary the information in the Visits section of the website here.

Simplified and unified procedure: create an IMPACT work package and choose "Professional Visit" in "Activity type". Fill in the form and use the "PRT" link directly from the IMPACT form if the visitor is not registered at CERN yet. You will need the visitors' ID or passports scan for this step. Do not forget to click on "Submit" once everything is registered in IMPACT.

The safety rules for professional visits are:

1. Visits shall be limited to a maximum of 3 days.
2. Escorts shall be responsible for the safety of the visitor according to CERN Safety Rules, in particular GSI-OHS1 (in French here).
3. Access to Radiation Designated Areas is subject to the Radiation Protection Code and shall not be given through this procedure.
4. Escorts shall accompany the visitors at all times during the visit.
5. Visitors are strictly forbidden to perform work during the visit.
6. Escorts shall be Members of Personnel exclusively.
7. Escorts shall provide the necessary safety equipment (helmet, shoes, etc.) and safety information (safety training, etc..) for the visitor.
8. Escorts shall return the token to the registration service immediately after the end of the visit.

You will also find all the necessary information in the Visits section of CMS Safety website here.

1. You'll need access to CMS_S, CMS USC and CMS_UXC with a personal dosimeter to be collected at b.55. See: Registration Service
2. You have to follow the web-based safety courses on Learning Hub lms.cern.ch: in particular the "Safety at CERN", "CERN Beam Facilities", "LHC Large Experiments" and "CMS - Surface and Underground Areas".
3. You'll have to follow the self-rescue mask, the fire extinguisher and the first-aid training courses (for the first-aid and the fire extinguisher training courses, you can start guiding groups as soon as you are on the waiting lists after your registration through EDH).
4. Last but not least, the "CMS Underground Guide - Initial "training course" is, of course, mandatory: please register on Learning Hub.
5. Personal protective equipment: personal dosimeter, white helmet with chin strap and headlamp, safety shoes. In addition, the white guide jacket must be worn by the guide.
6. You have to contact Dawn HUDSON in order to register for the CMS guide training course.
