La figura del Coordinador de Seguridad y Salud durante la ejecución de la obra, desde su aparición en España con la publicación del Real Decreto 1627/1997, no ha estado exenta de polémica. Existe una problemática en torno a esta figura, que aún hoy, 20 años después, continúa vigente. El concepto de técnico competente para desempeñar esta labor, sus obligaciones recogidas en el artículo 9 del citado Real Decreto 1627/1997, la coordinación de obras sin proyecto o las responsabilidades que asume el Coordinador, son cuestiones que no terminan de tener la claridad y la concreción deseables en una actividad tan importante y que cuenta ya con 20 años de recorrido. En la presente monografía se realiza un análisis integral de la figura del Coordinador durante la ejecución de la obra. Así, se pretende mostrar en qué estado se encuentra en la actualidad dicha figura, profundizando en las distintas cuestiones polémicas que la rodean, y aportando propuestas encaminadas a mejorar y dignificar esta faceta profesional. El capítulo dedicado a las responsabilidades incluye un análisis de 50 sentencias penales relevantes que afectan al Coordinador, la mayoría de ellas muy recientes, en el que se pone de manifiesto el criterio de los Tribunales, y del que se extraen interesantes conclusiones a tener en cuenta por los Coordinadores en su labor profesional.
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States.
