  1. General CERN Safety Marc Vadon - PSO LHC

  2. Safety at CERN • SAPOCO 42 • Old approach • Safety codes, • Safety instructions, • Safety notes, • Safety bulletin, • Safety procedures. • New approach in vigor since Jan. 2007

  3. CERN safety procedures • Avis d’Ouverture de Chantier (AOC) • It is defined in IS39 (EDH). The aim is to draw attention to the risks and problems caused in the surroundings by the work, and to ensure a good collaboration between the firms and all services affected. • Fire permit • Hot work permit defined in code E (EDH) • IS37 - Disabling of Alarm Level 3 • Emergency stops, fire, flood, gas, ODH detection (EDH) • Avis de tirs radiographiques • Implemented in radioprotection database • Etc.

  4. CERN safety courses • Basic safety course • Given in building 55 in French and English (Level 1,2&3 video) • LHC and ATLAS safety courses • level 4 and 4A available in SIR.cern.ch and also in building 55 (ODH and electrical risk) • Radiation course • Given by RP for all persons wearing a film badge • Specialised courses • Electrical habilitation (H0, B0, H1, B1, etc.) • Work at height (harness) • Scaffolding (mounting, control) • First-aid • Etc.

  5. Safety Actors • Sapoco members • Advisory to Director General: Department Leaders, DSOs, Safety Commission Head & deputy, Staff Association, Secretary general • DSO / PSO (Departmental/Project Safety Officer) • Advisor for Department / Project Leader • RSO (Radiation Safety Officer) • FGSO (Flammable Gases Safety Officer) • CSO (Cryogenic Safety Officer) • GLIMOS (Group Leader in Matters Of Safety) • TSO (Territorial Safety Officer) • Site managers for LHC and Experimental Area Managers for LHC experiments • Safety Linkperson • Safety Commission

  6. Line of reponsibility The line of responsibility IS the hierarchical line Director General Department Leader Group Leader Project Engineer (donneur d’ordre) • Note that the Safety Commission, DSO, TSO, PSO, Safety Coordinators, etc. are not in the responsibility line

  7. Role of the PSO 1. To keep himself, the Department Leaders and Group Leaders informed on all aspects of safety related to the installation and commissioning of the LHC, and ensure that the latter comply with the regulations. 2. To assist the Department Leaders in overseeing the application of rules and in organising the activities that are planned for the safety of the project. 3. To co-ordinate the work of other departmental safety agents on the worksite: Safety Coordinators and TSO. 4. To take part in analysing accidents occuring on the worksites, examine safety problems and draw up suitable prevention measures. 5. To assess the need for safety information and training to be given to the personnel working on the LHC sites, 6. To ensure liaison with SC and other Departments on all problems and activities relevant to safety, on the LHC worksites, 7. To define and organise the activities of the Safety Coordinators for the activities of the project, 8. To manage the Safety Coordination team

  9. Procedures in place • Firms working on the LHC only • PGCSPS + PPSPS +VIC • Plan Général de Coordination (PGCSPS) submitted with call for tenders, • Plan Particulier (PPSPS) with Task Description for each work site, • Visite d’Inspection Commune (VIC) is organised for each worksite since the environment varies (co-activities), • Modification of operating mode or context co-activities implies a new VIC. • Firms already working at CERN • Prevention plan + Task description + VIC • Prevention plan should exists for the specific activity, • Task description will be elaborated and given to coordinators, • “Visite d’Inspection Commune” (VIC) is organised on the worksite before the start of work. • Other CERN personnel • Task description + VIC • Task description will be elaborated and given to coordinators, • “Visite d’Inspection Commune” (VIC) is organised on the worksite before the start of work.

  10. Planning well in advance • Help from Safety Coordinators is available: • Mission mentions help during the design phase, • When the work-package analysis is done, • During the work preparation phase, PPSPS (30 days), • When the work is about to start, VIC (8 days), • During the work, specifically when the work method needs to be adapted. French and Swiss authorities are available for specific problems

  11. The new safety approach • Announced by Director General mid-2006 • The foundation of the new approach: • Transfer of all operational tasks to departments • Safety rules based on European Directives “if deemed appropriate by CERN” independently from Host States regulations. • Creation of an SMS (Safety Management System) based on the same principles as the EMS (Environmental Management System) in which all procedures are collected. • New way of defining safety rules • Safety Regulations (SR) ･ Safety Plans/ Safety Procedures (SP) ･ General Safety Instructions (GSI) ･ Specific Safety Instructions (SSI)

  12. Role of SC • No executive task • Except Host-states agreements and CERN wide services • INB coordination, reports and assessment, Personal and collective dosimetry , Fire fighting, Environmental monitoring, Occupational health • Auditing of departments • Emergency stops • Expertise • Mechanical engineering, chemistry, etc. • Granting authorization for activities with major safety implications • Promotion of safety culture • Safety courses • Contacts with authorities • Work inspectors, INB, etc.

  13. Key dates • Decisions summer 2006 • Announcement by the Director General • New structure 1st. January 2007 • New role of SC defined, creation of a new group • SMS 1st. January 2007 • Creation of a new group in charge of SMS, audits, definition of new regulations • Transfer of operational tasks 1st. April 2007 • Transfer of lifting, pressure, electrical, chemical inspections to TS • Revision of all documents 31 December 2007 • One person in charge of the new documentation

  14. We can help you • We are here to help by • Analysis the risks • Adapting working conditions • Planning preventive measures • We are here to work with you. Not against you. • We will do our best to help you find solution that are adapted to your needs. • We provide you with information regarding the interfaces between all work sites • the LHC and the experimental caverns.

  15. Conclusion • Quality Insurance vs. Safety • The approach is very similar • A good engineering and good planning are the key to success and safety • The whole life cycle has to be taken into account: Design, installation, testing, operation, maintenance, dismantling. • Role of the Safety Coordination and the PSO is to assist you in matters of safety • We do not write safety procedures • We are advisors who facilitate your work and help you perform your risk analysis

  16. We are not specialists but we are here to ask you the good questions regarding safety…
