  1. Vehicle Availability and ESH Picture of the Week E. Lessard Collider-Accelerator Department 6-21-11 Take 5 for Safety

  2. DOE Secretary Memo “35% fleet reduction within the next three years”

  3. Vehicle Availability and ESH Issues • 15 C-AD Groups raised vehicle availability issues during group feedback meetings in 2010 • Examples: • “The number of vehicles that the group has is well below past inventory of vehicles – this delays work and causes possible safety problems if workers lift heavy vacuum equipment in order to get the job done instead of waiting for a free vehicle or hunting one down from another group” • “Vehicle that have been requested by the Group are needed if work schedules are to be kept and safe movement of materials is expected; the Group looked into getting battery powered vehicles and the problem was – who could maintain them at BNL at what cost to C-AD” • “Workers now have to use personal vehicle to transport equipment. This could be a safety issue with large equipment in one’s personal car “ • “The Group badly needs a lift gate vehicle so they don’t have to “beg” other groups for one; this increase stress and delays job completion”

  4. Think Outside the Box • GPS tracking of C-AD vehicles • Determine location and use pattern of each vehicle • Optimize distribution of C-AD fleet based on use • Create central pool for total C-AD fleet rather than partial pool and partial C-AD Group dispersed • Make C-AD vehicle requests a formal part of the C-AD work request system that is used for maintenance days and shutdown • Develop a personal vehicle use policy (address: insurance, contamination, damage and personal injury issues) • Prepare justification for not reducing C-AD vehicles by 35% based on critical mission needs, environmental concerns or safety concerns
