Collider-Accelerator Department 5 Establish vision and goals Ensure all managers have safety improvement objectives Audit performance Have visible personal involvement Top Management Must Be Committed to Excellence Executive, manager, supervisor is responsible and accountable to prevent injuries and events in his/her jurisdiction Each individual is responsible for his/her own safety and safety of co-workers Safety is a Line Responsibility This builds safety awareness Embeds values in individual workers Everyone is Involved in Safety Training compliments but cannot replace learning by doing Safety Training is Essential No single practice or safety system is perfect Multiple practices ensure some barriers remain even if some barriers are defeated Have a Broad Array of Safety Systems and Practices

Safety Assessment Document (SAD) Accelerator Safety Envelope (ASE) Unreviewed Safety Issue Process (USI) Accelerator Authorization Process Operations Roles, Responsibilitie s, Training, Procedures Assurance Systems Collider-Accelerator Department 10

A documented ASE must define the physical and administrative bounding conditions and controls for safe operations based on the safety analysis documented in the Safety Assessment Document (SAD) The ASE must be submitted to DOE for approval and may be submitted as a separate document from the SAD An activity expected to exceed the bounding conditions of the ASE requires DOE approval Any activity violating the ASE must be terminated immediately and be put in a safe and stable configuration. Any activity that was shut down by DOE must not recommence until DOE approves the activity Collider-Accelerator Department 11

A SAD represents the technical basis for the ASE, is maintained current and must: identify hazards and associated onsite and offsite impacts to workers, the public, and the environment from the facility for both normal operations and credible accidents contain sufficient descriptive information and analytical results pertaining to specific hazards and risks identified during the safety analysis process to provide an understanding of risks presented by the proposed operations provide detailed descriptions of engineered controls (e.g., interlocks and physical barriers) and administrative measures (e.g., training) taken to eliminate, control, or mitigate hazards from operation include or reference a description of facility function, location, and management organization in addition to details of major facility components and their operation Collider-Accelerator Department 12

A Contractor Assurance System that maintains an internal assessment process A Facility Configuration Management Program that is related to accelerator safety Credited controls and appropriate administrative processes related to accelerator safety (e.g. training, procedures, etc.) Collider-Accelerator Department 15

Accelerator Readiness Reviews (ARRs) and Internal Readiness Reviews (IRRs) and third- parties (ISO14001 and OHSAS Registrar, NFS ) validate the assurance elements ARR/IRR Team members and NFS are independent ARR and IRR Teams validate the implementation of specific DOE 420.2C assurance elements: Unreviewed Safety Issue Process Configuration management program for Credited Controls Conduct of Operations assurance elements (e.g., Communications, Investigation of Abnormal Events, Conditions and Trends, Independent Verification) Document control program for procedures, safety bases and authorization documents Engineering design process for safety related components Collider-Accelerator Department 16

NFS validates the implementation of OSH (OHSAS 18001) and Environmental (ISO 14001) assurance elements: Rigorous, risk-informed, and credible self-assessment (safety committee reviews, compliance reviews, work observations, annual Management Review) A structured issues management system (Action Tracking System) Timely and appropriate communication to BNL and DOE BHSO Continuous feedback and improvement activities, including worker feedback mechanisms (Work Planning; Department, Division and Group Meetings) ESH metrics and targets to assess the effectiveness of performance Collider-Accelerator Department 17
