0. Safety Structure and Safety Organization

John Pedersen (CERN)

07/03/2012, 09:15

What news from SAPOCO on new version of Safety Policy? Recent changes in Safety Organization; Confirmation of Director A&T as “Chef d’Installation”; single BFSP transformed into three CSAP’s, one per complex: LHC, SPS, PS. What impact does this have on Safety for different facilities (machines and experimental areas)? What are the existing and recognised roles and functions for both...

1. Safety Documentation: Folders and Files

Sebastien Evrard (CERN)

07/03/2012, 09:45

Safety documentation as seen by different stakeholders (HSE, project office, Safety Officers, BE Safety Unit) and from different viewpoints (conceptual, methodical, goal-based…); there are many different initiatives and strong opinions... Safety Documentation should primarily be a crucial working-tool for all participants in a project or for personnel involved in the operation and...

2. Safety Training, Safety Briefings and Access Authorization

Steve Hutchins (CERN)

We have at CERN over 25 beam and experimental facilities, access to which is controlled by “access zones” of which there are 152 (these also include other areas such as key cabinets and the CCC kitchen). Each zone can have training and personal safety equipment requirements set in function of the hazards that may be present, but in practice the hazards are similar in many facilities. Our aim...

3. As Low As Reasonably Achievable

Ana-Paula Bernardes (CERN)

Some tools have been in place to formalize the activities around the ALARA principle for a few years now; most notably the requirement for a Dossier d’Intervention en Milieu Radioactif (DIMR). Review the recent change in the criteria to trigger and categorize the DIMR. Can we have a comparison of the points of view of Management, Radiation Protection and Users on this change, and on the ALARA...

4. Traceability

Luca Bruno (CERN)

07/03/2012, 11:45

Review the motivation and objectives of a traceability system, taking from internal motivation, industry standards and regulatory requirements on our partners in recycling industries and final repositories. Review of the existing system and procedure for traceability of equipment and materials, with presentation of the TREC tool, as seen by users currently using the system, ie presentation of...

5. Generation and Management of Radioactive Waste

Luisa Ulrici (CERN)

07/03/2012, 12:15

Once equipment and materials are declared radioactive waste, they follow a very strict procedure before final elimination can be reached. Obviously we should minimize radioactive waste but do we understand why? Presentation of major issues at stake; money is one, others are regulations and additional burden, but also publicity and “good neighbour” attitude. Traceability of waste is treated in...
