The construction sector presents specific risks due to the use of heavy machinery, working at heights and the coexistence of several companies in the same space. The Construction Site Safety Coordinator (CSO) is the central figure required by Decree-Law 273/2003 of October 29. As the owner of the construction site, you must appoint a specialist who manages safety conditions, prevents accidents and ensures that contractors and self-employed workers work within a coordinated framework.
