Individuals with Specific Responsibilities University Technical Representatives

- subcontractor oversight Building Managers

- safety and changes to facilities Project Managers Area Managers/Area Physicists Safety Coordinators

Project Managers Have safety and environment responsibility for their

projects Are responsible for identifying where modifications

may impact the approved operating parameters of the facility

For ‘Major Modifications,’ work with Safety Overview Committee (SOC) as defined in SLAC Guidelines for Operations ‘Safety Review of Major Modifications’

ADSO aids by monitoring daily maintenance meetings and weekly project review meetings to assist in identifying safety and environment concerns with minor modifications

Recent Example Projects

Sector 10 Chicane E158 (Linac penetration shielding) Interlaced PEP/ESA running issues

(BCS/pulsed DRIP magnets) SPPS Program in FFTB New PEP RF Stations Supplemental PEP shielding (IR2, IR8)

Safety (ES&H) Coordinators

Can be appointed by ADs, Dept Heads, Group Leaders, Project Managers

Stay informed of work processes in their area to assist in identifying ES&H concerns

Keep apprised of ES&H policies Act as primary contact between the line organization

and ES&H Assist workers/managers in their area to comply

with ES&H policies

Accelerator Department Safety Office (ADSO) Two FTEs charged with safety oversight for operation of

the accelerator Are the Accelerator Department Safety Coordinators Works the with Accelerator Operations Group to

maintain safety-relevant procedures Works with Radiation Physics Department to create

Beam Authorization Sheets Works with other ES&H subject matter experts for

various other issues Committee Memberships: Radiation Safety, HEEC,

ALARA, Electrical Safety, Operating Safety

Beam Authorization Sheets ‘Pre-Running Conditions’ dictate items to be in place or

performed prior to any beam operation (such as shielding inspections, PPS and BCS checkout, BSOIC calibration)

‘Initial Checkout’ items are safety-related checkouts that require beam (typically BCS calibration), to be performed prior to physics program.

‘Running Conditions’ must be maintained during beam operation. Typically defines beam power/energy limits, active BCS requirements, administrative requirements (review of RSWCFs, PPS Interlock checks, Safety Inspection Checklists, BCS daily/weekly checks)

PEP Safety Inspection Checklist

BCS Checklist

Test Beams

Small low-cost beam programs, typically initiated from outside users

Coordinated by the Test Beam Coordinator in EFD, Research Division

Proposal reviewed by RP, SOC Chair, Area Manager, Area Physicist; approval requirements set

Self Assessment Programs

Periodic reviews of SLAC ES&H programs and procedures, as well as broad aspects of SLAC operations, are conducted at several layers of laboratory managements and by outside agencies.
