Normally, LilyPond avoids such collisions, as you can see
from this example:

\version "2.16.2"

\new Staff <<
  { \voiceOne c'16 }
  \new Voice { \voiceTwo r16 }
>>

So the question is why this is not happening here. There
is probably something interfering with voice handling in
your code. Could you provide a compilable example demonstrating
the problem? Have a look at
http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.fr.html
for inspiration.

We rarely meet people (visibly) using LilyPond at work,
so if you're comfortable sharing that, I at least
would be interested to know whom you're working for!
