neutral  Jennifer Levey: As your webrefs nicely illustrate, there are usually several 'project phases' - but Asker's question refers to only one of them.

  -> I realize it refers to only one phase, that's why I translated it as "phase" and not the plural.

at the design stage


Explanation:
Refers to the person who will coordinate H&S matters during the design stage (as distinct from the subsequent building/commisssion/etc stages).

--------------------------------------------------

Clarification: The text uses 'proyecto' to mean two different things.
In "Fase I: Lanzamiento del Proyecto ...", proyecto refers to the whole project - which clearly has several phases/stages since there is reference here to 'Fase I'.
The second ocurrence "... en fase de proyecto." refers to the work done by the 'proyectistas', i.e. the system/project designers.

Where Spanish can use the same word for both concepts, we do not use 'project' for the second meaning in English.
