10. Safety in Workshops: Isabelle + Ruben
Tooling-machines
Complete updated list of Machine Tools
Conformity works to be completed
Update MTF
Instruction manuals and Task Sheets to be updated/provided
Users
Traka boxes
Users ‘authorisation to use CERN tooling machines
EPI availability
Workshops & Laboratories
Safety file
We are working together with the HSE unit to refine the working tools and methods to improve the safety in our workshops.
In 2015 aim to expand to the rest of PH Department, maybe even CERN wide.

11. Safety in Workshops – PH-DT
In PH Department around 70% of all machines are conform to requirements.

13. Chemical Hazards (Bruno & Bernard)
Survey in 2013 and 2014 of ALL buildings and barracks belonging to PH to see what chemicals are being stored and where.
Future actions:
Follow-up
Offer choice – compliance or elimination of chemical products.

PH Department TSO meeting 2014

14. Safety for Experiments (Bruno)
There is a SAFETY CLEARANCE PROCEDURE for experiments.
If ‘major safety implications’ then the HSE unit does the safety checks.
If not, and for test beam type experiments, then the safety checks are done by the PH safety office (60 this year).
The TSO’s are usually from EN or BE Departments.
Note: USER community heavily involved !

15. Evacuation drills in PH Dept. (Niels)
ATLAS, Alice, LHCb (June, Sept.)
B.188 (March)
B.11,12,13,14 (April)
B.1,2,3,4,50,51,52,53,58,304 (Oct.)
Big successes: no incident / accident
Good collaboration with GS, HSE, and other dep.
lots of work for the organizers,
lots of improvements identified.
No evacuation drills scheduled in 2015

PH Department TSO meeting 2014

16. Evacuation drills: Facts (Niels)
Infrastructures:
Good: sirens are ringing, fire-doors are closing,
Could be better: no evacuation/fire safety concept, evacuation sirens not-conform, fire-doors not conform, evacuation signalling insufficient/not appropriate, no interlock with lifts, location of assembly points,
Organisational:
Good: drills performed, personnel trained and equipped, quick intervention of Fire Brigade,
Could be better: not enough equipment, no trained, emergency guide, not enough drills,
Personnel:
Good: (almost) everybody evacuated, assembly point joined,
Could be better: late or no evacuation,
Weather:
No rain!

18. Accidents: CERN statistics (Niels)
26 November 2014
PH Department TSO meeting 2014

19. Accidents analysis & reporting (Niels)
9 accidents analysed in detail
Accident analysis is done in order to learn, not to blame anyone
Main lessons learnt:
Not enough first-aiders
Calling is not systematic
Incidents and near-misses not reported enough – would help preventing accident
MPA (associates) are mainly exposed to road safety hazards (bicycle helmet, high visibility jacket, speed limits, road infrastructures, etc.)

PH Department TSO meeting 2014

20. Accidents analysis & reporting (Niels) ACT to prevent accidents.
What to do if you see a dangerous situation?
If urgent call the Fire Brigade 74444
If not urgent call the Fire Brigade or
call the DSO
ACT to prevent accidents.

Messages for TSO’s
Communicate
Your role is an important role in SAFETY
Train according to your needs
Contact the help desk for any problems. Follow-up.
Perform regular checks of your premises.
Identify problems/risks, act
Act immediately on HSE inspection reports
Future Help & support:
PH-DT = Isabelle
Rest of PH = Mark
Large Experiments = LEXGLIMOS

Final Messages
A BIG thank you for performing the role of TSO and Deputy TSO.
There are many ‘challenges’.
Many high risk premises
Lots of workshops, laboratories, technical facilities
Large USER community
Our aim is to improve.
We will involve you more and give you better help and support in 2015.
