  5. Basic safety training is the responsibility of your home institute If you have staff (students) working with you, then you are responsible for assuring that they are appropriately trained

  6. RAL’s responsibility is to make you aware! • To provide you with the environment to carry out MICE safely! • To be satisfied that the collaboration adheres to a sufficient safety standard

  7. Awareness • General site awareness • Fire, Harwell incident • Site traffic, lifting, VDU, health • Regulatory framework • Advice, Responsibilities & Authorities • Authorisation and procedures (Permit to work, authorised officers) • risk assessment (common sense and how to use it!) • working at height, • confined spaces, • electrical, HV • Radiation areas • classification • Radiation • Magnetic fields • X-rays, neutrons, • Laser • Hydrogen • What to do in the event of …? • RF • Hazard awareness, • High Voltage

  8. A web based training system is used for ISIS users: http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/usertraining/ • Notes & Questions • Basis for “having done the training” • ISIS Safety Pack (on arrival) • Awareness talks: • Initial Session at CMx - next at RAL • Concentrate on • Awareness and • “how RAL/ISIS works” • Put notes on web: perm. to work, op. proc...

  12. Chain of Command & Responsibilities • How will MICE operate? • Regular run planning meetings? • Chair: Spoke/deputy? • Shift leader? – Deputy? • Carry out prescribed plan of measurements? • How much flexibility? • What are the actionlevels? • Liaison with ISIS operations? • this will feed into the overall  Procedure and Safety plans  Specific equipment training plans
