1. Scope of “Safety” at CERN

Safety at CERN includes

Occupational health, hygiene,

Environmental protection, new

Work safety, operational safety,

Safety of equipment and installations.



The safety policy is defined in the document SAPOCO-42 http://safety-commission.web.cern.ch/safety-commission/sapoco42/index.html

Everyone at CERN (= staff members, users, collaborators,

contractors…) is place under the authority of the DG.

Everyone must be trained/informed about safety

( Read the Safety Plans )

Anyone facing an hazardous situation must report about it.

Think Safety – Work Safely !



Responsibilities in matter of

safety follow the managerial

line; each supervisor/project

leader is responsible for his

team/project.

Safety Officers (DSO, FGSO,

RSO…) are nominated to

help supervisors. Safety Commission and

Safety Committees give

advice and control.

DG / CEO

PH Dept Head

Tech. Coord. / GLIMOS

Project Leader

Project Engineer

Designers, staff, users…



Responsibilities in matter of

safety follow the managerial

line; each supervisor/project

leader is responsible for his

team/project.

At Point-2, the installation of

the Experiment is under the

responsibility of TS Dep-t.

Hence, the reporting line of

safety is the following:

DG / CEO

TS Dept Head

Experimental Area Manager

WP Engineer

WP Supervisor

Workers, technicians,

users…



Safety Officers for ALICE :

GLIMOS = Group Leader in Matter of Safety checks the design and co-ordinates all safety aspects.

Disseminates and collects the info related to safety.

GLIMOS = Marc. Tavlet , Deputy = Hans Taureg

Note : general phone No for GLIMOS = 70608

INB link-person co-ordinates the aspects of the “Installation Nucleaire de Base” (mainly

traceability) J-P. Vanuxem



Safety Officers for ALICE :

FGSO = Flammable Gas Safety Officer, checks the design and installation of (flammable) gas distribution.

Ch. Gregory

RSO = Radiation Safety Officer, checks the safety related to ionizing and non-ionizing sources, including lasers.

M. Tavlet TSO’s = Territorial Safety Officers checks the daily safety aspects.

At Pt 2, TSO = Sebastien Evrard deputy = Didier Anstett

For other TSO’s, consult “Safety Officers Support” on the web



Some exerts from SAPOCO-42 :

Each of us must work so as to run the least possible risk and, to this end,

must actively obtain a maximum amount of information to enable us to do so.

Anyone who introduces new equipment, materials or techniques must

check any safety problems which may arise with their Group Leader (or

GLIMOS) and Divisional Safety Officer (DSO), and if necessary seek the

advice of the Safety Commission ... [# 1.10]

Supervisors are responsible for all matters of safety, occupational health,

and protection of the environment connected with their activities or project […]

ensuring that [collaborators] are kept fully informed of and if necessary trained in

the safety aspects of their work.


3. Safety Rules

CERN, as an International Organization, has settled its own

safety rules, based on European Directives or on rules in

force in the host states.

In case CERN regulations are lacking or incomplete, the

regulations of the host state concerned are applicable.

Ex.: Road traffic rules



Some exerts from SAPOCO-42 :

4.3. Anyone in charge of a project must establish a safety structure

which includes an appropriate delegation of task together with the

corresponding authority.

4.8. Project Leaders are responsible for safety in their project.

They must ensure that all safety requirements have been taken into

account from the design stage and subsequently at all stages of their

project’s development through to its dismantling and final disposal.



Some more exerts from SAPOCO-42 :

5.1. Experiments, facilities, and tests must comply with the safety

regulations in force at CERN in connection with the construction,

operation, and disposal of equipment.

5.4. For safety matters, an experiment or test is represented by a

Group Leader in Matter of Safet (GLIMOS), who is responsible for safety,

with the necessary authority...

5.6. Visitors are bound by their presence on the Organization’s site to

comply with the safety regulations.

In case of accident – “PAS” rule:

P – Protect yourself, the victim, others

A – Alert call 74444 give location

S – Save if the victim is conscious, reassure him/her

if he/she is unconscious, turn on side

in any case, get help

( know the first aides at your workplace )

After the accident, report to TSO, GLIMOS… (+ Code A2)


6. First Aid

Bleeding Lie the person down Apply direct pressure with cloth or tissue on the wound

(excepts if an object in stuck in the wound ; do not remove it !) Reassure, get help

Falls If pins and needles appear in arms and legs, there is a possible back

fracture DO NOT MOVE THE VICTIM, call 74444

Burns Cool the burned area immediately with tepid running water (> 5 min) Cover with sterile bandage Call 74444 or go to the Infirmary (bldg 57)


7. Emergency means

Red telephones = direct liaison with fire brigade

(They know where you are.)

From normal telephone, call 74444

(Your location is written on the telephone

itself.)

From your private Natel, call +41 22 767 4444

(DO NOT CALL 112

!)


7. Emergency means

Emergency stop buttons (local or general)

Alarm buttons

Alarm signal

Fire brigade = 9 firemen with their equipment,

available at all time, 24h/d, 365 d/y


8. In case of fire

If not too important, use portable fire extinguishers

In any case, call 74444

If it appears to be ‘important’ (= cannot be fought with

the local extinguishers), activate the ‘evacuation signal’


9. In case of alarm/evacuation

If possible, secure your work place (stop power, close

chemicals…)

Use the shortest way to exit

Go to the “assembly point”

11. Causes of accidents at CERN

Handling operation are the main cause of accidents

Handling

Cars

Fall (same level)

Falls (from height)

Hand tools

Others


II. General and Specific Risks at CERN, and

in particular for ALICE

Road traffic Industrial activities Research activities Underground activities


II. Risk review at CERN

Road traffic

Noise

Electricity HV but also LV

Falls (“work at height”) and slips

Falling objects Safety Perimeters

Handling (= transport, but also “hand-ling”, manipulations)

Fire risks (materials, electricity…)

Waste management recycling


II. Risk review at CERN

Radiation ionizing and non-ionizing

Lasers

EM-fields

(Flammable) gases, Chemicals (liquids)

Toxic and flammable materials (solids)

Mechanical integrity (incl. seismic events, pressure vessels…)

Confined spaces


Risks on roads

Traffic rules at CERN are the ones in force in the host states – the ones applicable for villages and cities.

( Safety Code A7 )

• General speed limit = 50 km/h

• Forbidden to overpass

30

How to recognize a noise hazard ?

Signs

High acoustical discomfort

Difficult to talk

• Wear protective equipment,

• Keep away – distance

• Keep away – time

31

Manual Handling

Spinal column and hand injuries !

( good engineering =fewer manual handlings )

Use tools, not your body!

+Protective equipments

32

Falls, slips…

Tidy and clean your work place and the floor around it.


Ergonomics

Make sure to have proper illumination of your workplace

Make sure that your chair is adapted to you and your position (height, back…)

Adopt a general healthy posture

Make sure that your computer screen is well positioned (perpendicular to the light source)

Do not sit too long without exercising (body and eyes)

In case of aching, consult the Medical Service


Electricity

Electrical hazards (electrocution, damage to property) are to be encountered almost everywhere.

Persons carrying out work on electrical installations must have the necessary qualifications.

Safety Code C1, "Electrical Safety Code", lays down the regulations concerning electrical construction work and for the installation and use of electrical equipment.

Safety Instruction IS 24, "Regulations applicable to Electrical Installations", specifies the standards in force on the CERN sites.

In practice : If you don’t know, don’t touch !


Fire

Safety Code E, "Fire Protection

Fires activities creating "hot spots

"fire permit" - person requesting the work - TSO responsible for the

area

The combustion of plastics containing halogens, sulphur or phosphorous releases corrosive gases that often cause more damage than the fire itself. Safety Instructions IS 41 and IS 23

Know the location of the alarm systems and fire-fighting equipment in the vicinity of your workplace and know how to use them.


Transport, Lifting

Use as much as possible the official services for transportation of heavy materials and delicate equipment

“demande de transport interne” on EDH

They have the know-how and an insurance.

The use of lifting equipment (cranes, forklifts…) requires training and qualification !


Handling, Manipulation

Think before acting !

Watch your hands !

38

Read the Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS hazards, precautions, emergency procedures

Delimit the zone before work commences,

Ventilate the work place,

Wear the appropriate gloves as well as an apron and safety goggles.

Use the minimum amount of chemicals for the job.

Fire extinguisher, absorbent product (Hi-dri…) at hand.

Eye wash must be present at the work place.

Store (unused) chemicals in appropriate containers.

In case of doubt, contact SC/GC.

Chemicals


Radiation in test beams

Safety Code F = Radiation Protection Manual

Working in “controlled areas” observe the information on the panels

wear your CERN film badge

organise your work as to minimise the exposure of personnel.

never remove shielding, protections or locking systems

report any anomalies to the person responsible for the

equipment.

Any material leaving an accelerator area may have been

activated. It must therefore be checked by SC-RP.


Radiation from sources

Safety Code F = Radiation Protection Manual

Radioactive sources must be registered by SC-RP

Transport and shipping of sources must be organised by SC-RP http://service-rp-shipping.web.cern.ch/service-rp-shipping/

Wear your CERN film-badge whie working with sources

The SC-RP Group is responsible for the elimination of all

radioactive waste.


Lasers

To know more : http://service-laser-safety.web.cern.ch/service-laser-safety/

Class Hazard Comments1 without danger if view not intentional

1M, 2, 2M retinal burn without danger if exposure < 0.25s

3R retinal burn direct view is dangerous

3B retinal burn & other biological effects

direct view dangerous and diffuse reflections could be dangerous

4retinal burn & other biological effects

& skin burn

direct view and diffuse reflections are dangerous. Extreme care!


Lasers

Never point the beam to somebody

Never look along the beam axis

Don’t install beam axis in eye height laying (unconscious) ca. 0.1 m sitting ca. 1.2 m standing ca. 1.7 m

Wear safety glasses ( adapted to the wavelength ! )

43

Magnetic Field

Collision hazards & eddy currents

Ferromagnetic objects may become dangerous projectiles

Stainless steel might be magnetic,even if austenitic (when cold treated)

Pacemaker and defillibrator - Attention


Ways to reduce the risks on the field :

Proper information ← Supervisors, GLIMOS, TIS

Proper training ← TIS, GLIMOS, HR-ED

Adequate preparation of work

Presence of safety team

Respect the rules

Respect safety signs

… Safety culture

= “think safety, work safely”


III. Specific Risks in UX-25( ALICE cavern )

The ones cited before : Noise

Electricity HV but also LV

Handling = transport and manipulations

Lasers define and respect safety perimeters

EM-fields restricted access during magnet tests

Fire risks materials, electricity…

Hot works “Fire permits” on EDH

(Flammable) gases, Chemicals (liquids)

Mechanical integrity (incl. seismic events, pressure vessels…)

Confined spaces (not yet)


III. Specific Risks in UX-25( ALICE cavern )

Overhead-crane in operation in the shaft

safety perimeter

Work at height ( scaffoldings, ladders, nacelles… )

Fire smoke !

Waste management

• What do you need to access ?• What do you have to know ?• In case of emergency…


Work at height

Never work on a ladder ! Work on scaffoldings (mounted by

trained people) Use safety equipment Use the stairs Define a safety perimeter around

“driving license” for nacelles (after

proper training) Use safety equipment Define a safety perimeter around


What is needed for access ?

The access right ( get it on EDH after this training )

Never work with a visitor card !

Wear your access-card in a visible manner

Wear your hardhat

Wear comfortable shoes, even safety-shoes to work

Any safety equipment related to your work

Better to have your portable-phone No self-breathing apparatus ; they are available at fixed places


What do you need to know ?

What is ongoing down there ;

e.g. work has priority on visits !

Why do you go there ? Prepare your work/visit

Your way out

The location of personal safety equipment

The location of fire-fighting equipment

The location of Emergency-stop buttons

The alarm signal and the meeting point


Way-out, safety equipment, safety perimeter, … Look at the maps :

… but look at your surroundings !

51

This is almost… The End

Help us to reduce the frequency and severity of accidents; It is YOUR behavior

which makes the difference !

Remember: it is forbidden to smoke and to eat in underground areas.

(Drinking is allowed in non-radiation areas.)
