6. Individuals with Specific Responsibilities
University Technical Representatives
- subcontractor oversight
Building Managers
- safety and changes to facilities
Project Managers
Area Managers/Area Physicists
Safety Coordinators

7. 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

8. 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)

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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)

13. PEP Safety Inspection Checklist

14. BCS Checklist

15. 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

17. 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.
