7 December 8, 2006DSR ROUNDTABLE6 LNS / LEPP Accelerators –Design, Build, Operate, Research Particle Physics - CLEO –Design, Build, Use Particle Detectors –Collaboration with 60-200 physicists from 6 - 20 Universities Employ ~150 staff, Spend ~$15-20 M/yr (CHESS ~50 staff, ~500 users, ~$8 M/yr)

8 December 8, 2006DSR ROUNDTABLE7 LNS/LEPP Safety Committee Radiation Safety first concern Natural to include other issues –Fire, electrical, occupational Chair - Lab Executive Officer Members - Director, Lab Staff with appropriate expertise & responsibilities Meet at least 4 times/year Safety is a Line Management Responsibility

9 December 8, 2006DSR ROUNDTABLE8 Evolution Demands of Funding Agencies –DOE Tiger Teams LNS Safety Director –Local Training Programs –Project Reviews

10 December 8, 2006DSR ROUNDTABLE9 Evolution Decline of University “exemption” OSHA, DOT, EPA accountability More Active Campus EH & S

11 December 8, 2006DSR ROUNDTABLE10 Charter Duties  to ensure proper safety training/documents are provided (and available) to staff, students, and visitors.  to provide a forum to discuss safety issues.  to review (annually) and keep current the LEPP Safety Handbook.  to prepare and keep current all safety documents required by the University.  to assist in implementing campus-wide safety programs mandated by the University and work with Cornell safety professionals to resolve safety issues at LEPP.  to review safety aspects of new (or significant changes in) large-scale/safety critical experiments/projects/facility modifications.

12 December 8, 2006DSR ROUNDTABLE11 Charter Duties  to provide training for circumstances unique to our Laboratory  to participate in safety audits of LEPP operations as required.  to conduct annual safety inspections of the entire LEPP and ensure unsafe conditions/practices are corrected.  to respond to safety-related policy and/or compliance questions.  to provide an on-site safety presence at LEPP and serve as a good example to the community.
