Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

L’expansion fulgurante de l’\u00e9conomie num\u00e9rique a propuls\u00e9 les data centers au c\u0153ur des infrastructures critiques nationales. Ces installations, qui h\u00e9bergent et traitent des volumes consid\u00e9rables de donn\u00e9es, pr\u00e9sentent des sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9s techniques et des risques professionnels qui n\u00e9cessitent une approche d’\u00e9valuation des risques particuli\u00e8rement rigoureuse. Selon l’enqu\u00eate d’Interop, 52 % des travailleurs cadres en data centers ont eu connaissance d’un accident humain au moins, et 14 % t\u00e9moignent de 4 accidents ou plus, r\u00e9v\u00e9lant l’ampleur des enjeux de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 dans ce secteur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face \u00e0 une r\u00e9glementation en \u00e9volution constante et \u00e0 l’\u00e9mergence de nouvelles technologies, les dirigeants d’entreprise, responsables des ressources humaines et charg\u00e9s de pr\u00e9vention doivent ma\u00eetriser les sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9s de l’\u00e9valuation des risques dans ces environnements techniques complexes. Cet article examine les fondements r\u00e9glementaires, les risques sp\u00e9cifiques, les classifications applicables et les responsabilit\u00e9s juridiques inh\u00e9rentes \u00e0 l’exploitation des data centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Data<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I. Regulatory and normative framework for data centers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.1. General obligations under the Labour Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

L’article L. 4121-1 du Code du travail impose \u00e0 l’employeur une obligation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 : \u00ab L’employeur prend les mesures n\u00e9cessaires pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et prot\u00e9ger la sant\u00e9 physique et mentale des travailleurs. \u00bb<\/em> This obligation is specifically addressed in the context of data centers through several provisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Risk assessment<\/strong> : L’article R. 4121-1 impose la transcription des r\u00e9sultats de l’\u00e9valuation des risques dans un document unique, particuli\u00e8rement critique dans les data centers compte tenu de la diversit\u00e9 et de la complexit\u00e9 des risques pr\u00e9sents<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Training and information<\/strong> : L’article L. 4141-1 oblige l’employeur \u00e0 organiser une formation pratique et appropri\u00e9e en mati\u00e8re de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, incluant les risques sp\u00e9cifiques aux environnements techniques des data centers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Personal protective equipment<\/strong> : L’article R. 4321-1 et suivants encadrent la fourniture d’EPI adapt\u00e9s aux risques \u00e9lectriques, chimiques et physiques pr\u00e9sents dans ces installations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    1.2. Specifics of the Building and Housing Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Le Code de la construction et de l’habitation (CCH) s’applique diff\u00e9remment selon que le data center est construit sp\u00e9cifiquement ou int\u00e9gr\u00e9 dans un b\u00e2timent existant :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Specific constructions<\/strong> : L’article R. 111-2 du CCH impose le respect des r\u00e8gles de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 contre l’incendie, particuli\u00e8rement critiques dans les data centers compte tenu des charges calorifiques importantes et des syst\u00e8mes d’extinction sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Integration into existing buildings<\/strong> : Les articles R. 143-2 et suivants encadrent les modifications d’usage, souvent n\u00e9cessaires lors de l’installation d’un data center dans un b\u00e2timent non con\u00e7u initialement \u00e0 cet effet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Accessibility and evacuation<\/strong> : Les dispositions relatives \u00e0 l’accessibilit\u00e9 (articles R. 111-19 et suivants) doivent \u00eatre adapt\u00e9es aux contraintes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifiques des data centers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      1.3. EN 50600 standard and technical reference documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      La norme EN 50600 est une norme europ\u00e9enne pour les data centers qui utilise une approche holistique pour fournir des sp\u00e9cifications compl\u00e8tes pour la planification, la construction et l’exploitation des data centers. Elle d\u00e9finit quatre parties principales :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • EN 50600-1<\/strong> General concepts and requirements for data centers<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      • EN 50600-4<\/strong> Environmental monitoring and infrastructure control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Cette norme s’articule avec les obligations du Code du travail en pr\u00e9cisant les exigences techniques n\u00e9cessaires au respect de l’obligation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de l’employeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • Micro data centers (< 40 kW)<\/strong> : G\u00e9n\u00e9ralement non soumis aux r\u00e9gimes ICPE, ces installations rel\u00e8vent uniquement du droit commun du Code du travail. L’\u00e9valuation doit couvrir les risques \u00e9lectriques, thermiques et d’incendie sp\u00e9cifiques<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Data centers d’entreprise (40 kW \u2013 1 MW)<\/strong> These installations may be subject to the ICPE declaration regime under section 2910 (combustion) if their thermal power exceeds 2 MW<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Hyperscale data centers (> 1 MW)<\/strong> : Selon la taille et la nature des \u00e9l\u00e9ments install\u00e9s, il est important de v\u00e9rifier si cette nouvelle installation entre dans la cat\u00e9gorie des installations class\u00e9es au titre de l’ICPE. Ces installations sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement soumises \u00e0 autorisation ICPE et peuvent relever de la directive Seveso III<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          2.2. ICPE regulations and risk assessment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Section 2910 (Combustion)<\/strong> Declaration of 2 to 20 MW thermal \/ Authorization beyond 20 MW thermal<\/li>\n\n\n\n

            2.3. Seveso III Directive and hazardous substances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Data centers may be affected by this directive if they exceed regulatory thresholds for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n

                • L’obligation de maintenir les services critiques limite les possibilit\u00e9s d’intervention des sapeurs-pompiers, n\u00e9cessitant des protocoles d’intervention adapt\u00e9s<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • L’importante densit\u00e9 de c\u00e2blage facilite la propagation du feu et des fum\u00e9es toxiques<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
