Enhancing Vehicle Availability and Safety in C-AD: Addressing Concerns and Proposals

The Collider-Accelerator Department faces vehicle availability issues that impact work safety and efficiency. Feedback from 15 groups highlighted significant concerns, including insufficient vehicles for heavy equipment transport, reliance on personal vehicles, and delays due to vehicle shortages. Proposed solutions include GPS vehicle tracking, a centralized fleet pool, and formalizing vehicle requests in the work system. It’s essential to justify the need to maintain current vehicle levels, considering mission-critical operations and safety. Collaborative efforts are needed to ensure safe movement and efficient workflow.

  3. Vehicle Availability and ESH Issues • 15 C-AD Groups raised vehicle availability issues during group feedback meetings in 2010 • Examples: • “The number of vehicles that the group has is well below past inventory of vehicles – this delays work and causes possible safety problems if workers lift heavy vacuum equipment in order to get the job done instead of waiting for a free vehicle or hunting one down from another group” • “Vehicle that have been requested by the Group are needed if work schedules are to be kept and safe movement of materials is expected; the Group looked into getting battery powered vehicles and the problem was – who could maintain them at BNL at what cost to C-AD” • “Workers now have to use personal vehicle to transport equipment. This could be a safety issue with large equipment in one’s personal car “ • “The Group badly needs a lift gate vehicle so they don’t have to “beg” other groups for one; this increase stress and delays job completion”

  4. Think Outside the Box • GPS tracking of C-AD vehicles • Determine location and use pattern of each vehicle • Optimize distribution of C-AD fleet based on use • Create central pool for total C-AD fleet rather than partial pool and partial C-AD Group dispersed • Make C-AD vehicle requests a formal part of the C-AD work request system that is used for maintenance days and shutdown • Develop a personal vehicle use policy (address: insurance, contamination, damage and personal injury issues) • Prepare justification for not reducing C-AD vehicles by 35% based on critical mission needs, environmental concerns or safety concerns
