Safety coordination for the new BMW premises renovation in Catania
In terms of safety coordination, the new BMW – Nuova Sport Car premises in Catania represented for the team led by Giuseppe Distefano a project of high technical and organisational standing.
A project in which health and safety, innovation and design precision were intertwined at every stage, from planning to final handover.


The role of the Safety Coordinator during the execution phase
In this project, the team led by Giuseppe Distefano has taken on the role of Safety Coordinator during the design and construction phases (CSP/CSE), ensuring full compliance with LD 81/08.
Every project — from the refurbishment of the industrial building to the fit-out of the BMW showroom — was planned and supervised to ensure comprehensive site safety management.
During the design phase, our team developed an integrated safety plan to anticipate risks and potential conflicts among the various works.
During the construction phase, the Safety Coordinator oversaw coordination between companies, craftsmen and technicians, ensuring operational continuity and maximum risk prevention.
Thanks to a collaborative approach and constant on-site supervision, we ensured that every technical decision met the highest occupational safety standards required by an international brand such as BMW.
Management of interference and operational oversight of work phases
Throughout the project, the team led by Giuseppe Distefano oversaw the entire construction process, constantly monitoring compliance with safety procedures and the effectiveness of the measures put in place.
We have planned each activity to minimise interference between companies and ensure the traceability of operations, aiming for rigorous and transparent site safety management.
Furthermore, thanks to ongoing dialogue with the client and the construction team, it was possible to complete the renovation in full compliance with regulations and without any incidents, thereby reinforcing a culture of safety as a shared value.
This result confirms the expertise of Giuseppe Distefano’s team as Safety Coordinator during the construction phase of complex, high-profile projects such as the BMW Catania project.
