Description
Ensuring personnel and equipment safety under all conditions, while operating the
complex CERN systems, is a vital condition for CERN success. By applying accurate
operating and maintenance procedures as well as executing regular safety
inspections, CERN has an excellent safety record. Regular safety inspections also
permit the traceability of all important events that have occurred in the life of an
equipment or an installation.
Such traceability is a requirement of the Host states' safety regulations. The CERN
Engineering Data Management System (EDMS) is the technical document and equipment
management system for the LHC project. With EDMS it is today possible to have access
to the design, manufacturing, testing and installation information of approximate
350’000 different LHC parts or LHC subsystems. The EDMS Service has now added
features to this system to allow a complete integration of the technical data and
the safety information.
This paper presents a summary of the architecture of the system, its main
functionalities, the benefits it brings, experience gained and some planned
improvements. The paper also highlights the importance/need to define clearly from
the beginning the roles and responsibilities of each party and to ensure the
resources and organization required".
