Description
The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is an upgrade of the LHC to achieve instantaneous luminosities a factor of five larger than the LHC nominal value, thereby enabling the experiments to enlarge their data sample by one order of magnitude compared with the LHC baseline programme.
The HL-LHC project deliverables rank from standard industrial equipment to innovative unprecedented technologies, involving external partners in the industry and from Collaborations.
The HL-LHC Safety Office developed, in collaboration with CERN HSE unit, a systematic and scaled approach of risk assessments. Existing risk identification and evaluation processes have been revised and updated to ensure an optimized use of resources to target the safety challenges of this large-scale project.
This talk will present the risk evaluation process, as well as the workflow and information exchange between the different stakeholders. A particular attention is also paid to documentation and its archiving to allow access and retrieval during the design, installation, commissioning and operation of the different hardware. The scalability of the method will be illustrated with examples from a given equipment to an assembly of components and up to a facility.
