CERN on its LHC:
Studies into the safety of high-energy collisions inside particle accelerators have been conducted in both Europe and the United States by physicists who are not themselves involved in experiments at the LHC... CERN has mandated a group of particle physicists, also not involved in the LHC experiments, to monitor the latest speculations about LHC collisions
Things that CERN is doing right:
1. The safety reviews were done by people who do not work at the LHC. 2. There were multiple reviews by independent teams. 3. There is a group continuing to monitor the situation.
