SGS Conducts Health and Safety Coordination for Alba Synchrotron in Barcelona
SGS was awarded a contract to conduct Health and Safety Coordination for the Alba Synchrotron light laboratory in Barcelona, Spain.

(firmenpresse) - SGS was awarded a contract to provide Health and Safety Coordination for the Alba Synchrotron in Barcelona, an advanced particle accelerator, allowing the observation of the molecular and atomic structure of any material.
The Alba Synchrotron, established at an overall cost of over 200 million euros, was officially opened on March 22, 2010.The entire project required extensive preparation as well as a reliable third-party inspection, verification, testing and certification company, which was expected to provide Health and Safety Coordination during construction works.
Due to the extensive experience and competence on similar international projects, in May 2006 SGS Tecnos was awarded a contract to provide Health and Safety Coordination for the Alba Synchrotron in Spain. During the four years of construction, which is expected to be completed in September 2010, SGS has ensured compliance with all relevant regulations and requirements, safety coordination during the construction phases, safety risk analysis and improvement in onsite productivity.
The biggest challenge for SGS is the coordination of the project. Forty-five construction companies from six different countries are involved in the construction works of the Alba Synchrotron. SGS successfully coordinates 8,000 workers from twenty-two countries of origin, which results in an extremely low accident rate.
Due to SGS’s excellent work, all construction companies work in compliance with Spanish Occupational Health and Safety regulations. Furthermore, the number of accidental risks is kept at a very low level and onsite productivity has improved.
