PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 4

I. Context• New DSO in 2012, new DDSO in 2013.• 5 meetings in June 2013 between PH Safety

office and around PH TSOs. • Report written to be used as a base for

improvements

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 5

II. Main points• The TSOs

• have nothing but problems to solve and often there is no positive side to the work,

• are not always listened too,• act alone, no cohesive approach, • get very little in the way of support,• are often volunteered but do not volunteer themselves,• don't have access to all the rooms of the infrastructures they are

supervising.

• The level of motivation is very low• The role of the TSO is quite well defined but the power is limited• Is power linked to a budget? The TSO has no budget.• Is power linked to the priority and importance of safety within the

Organisation?• Is the safety structure at CERN now appropriate, for what

concerns the TSO?• It is very difficult for a DSO to provide support to the TSO’s.

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 6

II. Main points• The TSO’s

• position, role and authority would be well understood.

• performance would be monitored and included in his MARS appraisal.

• supervisor would take into account TSO related objectives and performance in the MARS exercise.

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 7

II. Main pointsDelegation requires: COMPETENCES, MEANS, AUTHORITY

In an ideal world, the TSO would have the • COMPETENCES

• be trained and competent and the training would be regular and refreshed, in both languages EN and FR,

• be a First aider and trained in order to use a fire extinguisher,• speak FR and EN,• be easily contactable by the Fire and Rescue Service.

• MEANS• have the keys of all the rooms of the infrastructure,• have a budget code,• have a deputy,

• AUTHORITY• New hierarchical link needed.

… with the necessary motivation and a mandate limited in time (3 years?).

III. What has been done• Working group at the DSOC 17 Sept. 2013:

“Empowering TSOs: the DSOC decides of the set up of a working group to work on this issue. … The DSOC ask them to make proposals and recommendations to empower the TSOs.”…

• Reported at the DSOC on March 2014• Resources required for PH Safety Office• Support on dedicated/limited subjects: major

issues, material purchase, drills and emergency guides, accident investigations, …

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 9

IV. What remains to be done• A lot:

• Closer follow-up• Systematic support• More people to get more help

• Within the PH Safety office• Your deputy

• Budget• GS budget for infrastructures• PH for the rest.

• Mention of this role in your MARS

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 10

Conclusion• We thank you for your

participation last year.• Improvement takes

time… let’s be patient.• Further feedback is

welcome!

Evacuation drills in PH Dep.• 6 evacuation drills in 2014:

• ATLAS, Alice, LHCb (June, Sept.)• B.188 (March)• B.11,12,13,14 (April)• B.1,2,3,4,50,51,52,53,58,304 (Oct.)

• Big successes: no incident / accident• Good collaboration with GS, HSE, and

other dep.• lot of works for the organizers, • lots of improvements identified.

• No evacuation drill scheduled in 2015

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 14

Evacuation drills: facts• Infrastructures:

• Good: sirens are ringing, fire-doors are closing,• Could be better: no evacuation/fire safety concept,

evacuation sirens not-conform, fire-doors not conform, evacuation signalling insufficient/not appropriate, no interlock with lifts, location of assembly points,

• Organisational: • Good: drills performed, personnel trained and equipped,

quick intervention of Fire Brigade,• Could be better: not enough equipment, no trained,

emergency guide, not enough drills,

• Personnel: • Good: (almost) everybody evacuated, assembly point joined,• Could be better: late or no evacuation,

• Weather:• No rain!

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 15

What you can do• Identify whether your building is equipped

with evacuation sirens:• Find emergency guides and ask them to register

for the fire extinguisher training course• Contact ph-dso@cern.ch to get them trained

and equipped• Contact Aniello Russo to review the evacuation

signalling and update the emergency plan• Be volunteer to organize the next evacuation

drill…

PH TSO Annual meeting - N. Dupont 16

Proposed drills for 2016• Buildings 160, 161, 300, 301• Buildings 20, 21, 168• Buildings 16, 17, 18, 19…• Buildings 40 and 42 - together,• Building 32• …

Accident analysis• 9 accidents analysed in details• Accidents analysis are done in order to learn,

not to blame anyone• Main lessons learnt:

• Not enough first-aiders• Calling 74444 is not systematic• Incidents and near-misses not reported enough –

would help preventing accident• MPA (associates) are mainly exposed to road safety

hazards (bicycle helmet, high visibility jacket, speed limits, road infrastructures, etc.)
