9 General Safety Rules at DESY The transport of hazardous materials on public roads is subject to the legislation on the transport of hazardous goods and requires specific safety precautions. Please contact D5.

10 General Safety Rules at DESY Hazard signs and access restrictions have to be observed. Activities in areas outside your group’s responsibility may only be carried out after all concerned groups have been informed. Danger – Electrical Equipment

11 Coordination of Activities If several groups are working in one area at the same time, the activities must be coordinated to avoid mutual hazards associated with the works (appoint responsible individual or coordinator). Works in rooms or installations of other groups have to be announced with the Responsible Person for the respective area or with an appointed individual. The coordinator or the appointed individual define the specific safety precautions required for performing the work.

12 Avoid Workplace Hazards Read and follow the workplace safety sheets. Avoid all hazards associated with your work – this includes hazards for yourself as well as for other persons!

13 Safety Signs There are different types of safety signs: Rescue Signs Mandatory Signs Prohibitive Signs Warning Signs Fire Safety Signs

14 Signs Indicating Mandatory Rules Safety helmets must be worn Eye protection Must be worn Ear protection must be worn Safety boots must be worn Safety gloves must be worn

15 Safety Rules for the HERA Halls Safety helmets have to be worn in the hall (marked areas) Smoking is prohibited in the hall and in the tunnel Warning signs indicate operation with flammable gases Access to the HERA Halls is only permitted after completion of a specific safety instruction for the halls and the tunnel and with a HERA access card. Achtung! Brennbare Gase! Caution! Flammable Gases!

16 Emergency Stop Switches Installations which may cause a hazard are equipped with emergency stop switches which shut down the installation in case of danger. The switch should bear a label indicating which facilities are shut down by pushing the emergency stop.

17 Specific Hazards and Safety Rules

18 - Electro-Magnetic Fields - Laser - Safe Use of Equipment - Hazardous Materials - Gases

19 Elektro-Magnetic Radiation Warning – Electro- Magnetic Field In some areas at DESY you may come into contact with electro- magnetic fields caused by strong magnets, power supply equipment or high frequency installations. Areas where such fields may occur are marked with the following signs: Warning - Magnetic Field

20 Elektro-Magnetic Radiation No Entry for Persons With Pacemakers Persons with pacemakers or metal implants are specifically at risk. For such persons, access to areas marked with the above signs is forbidden! No Entry for Persons With Metal Implants

22 Impacts of Magnetic Fields In areas where magnetic fields occur, you may encounter specific risks when using metal tools or equipment:

23 Impacts of Magnetic Fields

24 Laser Beams Warning – Laser Beam In areas marked with this sign there may be an elevated hazard from laser beams. DESY has appointed Laser Protection Officers (Laserschutzbeauftragte) for the safe operation of lasers. These people provide further guidance in case of questions.

25 Safe Use of Equipment The term „equipment“ includes tools, devices, machinery or installations which are used during work.

26 Safe Use of Equipment Employees may only use equipment, if their supervisor has instructed them to do so, and they are qualified to use the equipment safely, or they have been instructed prior to the task and they are supervised by a person who is familiar with the activity. Instruction

27 Before using equipment Perform a visual check and an operational check! Equipment has to be in a safe operating condition and must not show deficiencies. Guards, safety systems and emergency controls must always be in good operating condition. Employees using equipment must not cause hazards to themselves or to other people.

28 Use of Equipment Equipment with safety deficiencies, must not be used (must be switched off), and has to be reported to the supervisor immediately. Replace or repair damaged equipment. Damaged Equipment Employees Supervisor (Responsible Person) Identified Deficiency Report

29 Designated Use Equipment, substances or installations may not be used without permission. Equipment may only be used in accordance with the purpose it is designated for, and in accordance with the operational manual, the workplace safety sheet and/or other safety instructions.

30 Designated Use of Equipment?

31 Set-Up, Maintenance and Repair Works Set-up, maintenance and repair works may only be initiated after all hazardous movements have come to a complete stop, the equipment has been secured against unauthorised, accidental or unexpected re-start, and hazardous movements due to residual energy are effectively prevented.

32 Set-Up, Maintenance and Repair Works Examples for residual energy: Hydraulic or pneumatic energy Potential energy (gravitation) Kinetic energy (flywheels etc.) Electrical energy Springs 1 0 Switch off and cut off from power supply Secure against re-start and hazardous movement Perform planned tasks according to instruction

33 Safe Use of Ladders Do not use damaged ladders and report any damages to your supervisor. Maximum load 150 kg. Maximum working height 7 m Place ladders only on non-slippery and even ground with sufficient load capacity. When leaning a straight ladder against the wall, position it in a safe angle (60-70°) Straight ladders must exceed the platform to be accessed by at least 1 m

34 Safe Use of Ladders Ladders placed in traffic areas or near such areas must be visibly marked and secured against falling. When working from a ladder, stand on the steps or rungs with both feet. It is not permitted to stand on the uppermost step of a self-supporting ladder. It is not permitted to step over from self-supporting ladders to higher areas.
