Clauses are included in contracts signed with companies and their subcontractors: noise limitation, traffic regulation, wearing personal protective equipment et cleaning of technical areas are all fundamentals to be respected. Recurring audits, visits and checks support this entire process.
residents are the primary partners in security. Regularly informed of upcoming work, they can report any difficulty to the works or territory managers (in the section "Contacts" of the site). Specific signage is also provided on the various sites of the worksite and along the bypass routes to remind everyone of good practices to ensure their own safety and that of others.
In general, the river transport of goods is economical, sober in energy and safe. There are extremely few accidents on the river network.
When the canal is commissioned, European regulations on inland navigation and the transport of dangerous goods (ADNR) will apply. The crews, the people in charge of the maintenance of the structures and the visitors to the locks will have the necessary safety equipment. A specific prevention plan is integrated into the ORSEC (Civil Security Response Organization) plan.
