NSF Audit Accelerator Safety Envelopes Picture of the Week E. Lessard Collider-Accelerator Department 6-7-11 Take 5 for Safety
NSF: Scope of Registration ISO 14001: Facilities, experiments, and operations managed by Brookhaven Science Associates at Brookhaven National Laboratory in accordance with the Environmental Management System OHSAS 18001: Health, safety risks associated with Brookhaven National Laboratory operations in Upton, New York
NSF: Audit Results • One minor nonconformance • One opportunity for improvement • Eight positive practices
Minor Nonconformance • ELEMENT 4.3.1. Aspects for the NASA SRL were misidentified or omitted • Improve the SBMS by clarifying that the “core” environmental aspect category of waste generation includes solid wastes such as cardboard, recyclables, food waste, trash, etc. Opportunity for Improvement
Positive Practices • CAD use of the EMS Process Assessment is exemplary • F&O pilot initiative to consolidate paperwork for job safety analysis is good • F&O Complex plan-of-the-day meeting is good use of time • BNL’s “I helped with safety” video spots are excellent where management acted proactively to implement an employee’s idea for improvement • The BNL Training Management System (BTMS) is an exceptionally effective tool for managing training records • BNL’s Safety and Health Services Division is transitioning from the use of lagging indicators to leading indicators to assess performance • The ergonomics program incorporates an equipment “try out” area into the evaluation of solutions process • There is effective use of the causal analysis and corrective action process
Audit Team Recommendation • BNL is recommended for continued certification to ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 with one minor nonconformance
Accelerator Safety Envelopes • New versions recently approved by DOE BHSO for • ASE for AGS, Booster, Linac and EBIS • ASE for BLIP and RRPL • ASE for ERL • ASE for NSRL • ASE for RHIC • ASE for TVDG and TTB • New ASEs are simpler • Classroom training and required reading start during summer shutdown
