French term or phrase: Préventeur sécurité groupe
Bonjour,

Je recherche l'intitulé en anglais du préventeur sécurité groupe (cette personne ne fait donc pas partie de l'entreprise mais du groupe auquel appartient l'entreprise). Voici un récapitulatif du poste en question. D'avance merci.

Le préventeur sécurité est un professionnel externe en charge de la sécurité d'une entreprise. Il intervient dès lors que l'entrepreneur possède un site, des installations ou accueille des personnes et qu'il doit ainsi respecter des obligations règlementaires et législatives relatives à la prévention des risques professionnels et de sécurité du travail.
La mission du préventeur sécurité va se concentrer autour de trois actions principales :
- la réalisation d'audits des installations, de diagnostics des projets de l'entreprise
- l'animation de formations auprès du personnel d'encadrement et d'opérateurs sur la sécurité et le management de la prévention
- la mise en place d'une démarche de prévention professionnelle

English translation:Group Accident Prevention Officer
Explanation:
As Writeaway says, the notion of 'prevention' does seem to be rather crucial here.

In the 'good old days' long ago before the terms 'H&S' had even been coined, we used to have an 'accident prevention officer'; I'm not entirely convinced this term is safe to use now, since although it does convey the 'prevention' idea alright, it is uncomfortably close to the old-fashioned notion that 'accidents' are the only form of danger, which rather flies in the face of modern approcahes to H&S.

Perhaps one could reconcile the issue by adding in the 'safety':

'Group Safety & Accident Prevention Officer'

Merci Tony pour toutes ces explications. J'ai opté finalement pour 'Group Safety & Accident Prevention Officer' car la notion de prévention est très importante comme le souligne Writeaway.
