22. Lead Safety at CERN

Ms Di Giulio Letizia (CERN)

Continuous improvement in HSE matters

Lead has always been used at CERN for various reasons, mainly for shielding in experimental areas and laboratories, and highly misused in workshops (e. g. used as counterweight). An existing safety guideline concerning lead was already present at CERN, but it was poorly distributed to the users, that were not fully aware of the risks they were exposing themselves to. With an increased...

8. Safety by Design Implementation in the PIP-II Project

Continuous improvement in HSE matters

The PIP-II Project at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is implementing the Safety by Design process, also called Prevention through Design, to minimize occupational hazards early in the design process. The emphasis is on eliminating hazards and controlling risks to workers “at the source” or as early as possible in the life cycle of equipment, products, or workplaces. The Safety by Design...

29. An overview of CERN in-house developed software tools for Safety

Gustavo Segura Millan (CERN)

The Heath, Safety and Environment Unit (HSE) at CERN makes extensive use of software tools to fulfil its mission. HSE exploits commercial solutions whenever they suit the Organization’s requirements.
If no fitting commercial solution exist, the HSE unit mandates an internal software development team to build in-house solutions, tailored to respond the specific requirements of the...

10. Integration of Safety thru an extended project lifecycle: example of the CERN LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project

Anne Funken (CERN)

Continuous improvement in HSE matters

The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project aims at making the injector chains of the LHC capable of supplying the high intensity and high brightness beams requested by the High-Luminosity LHC. In addition to the construction of a new linear accelerator, the project comprises major upgrades and renovations of five existing accelerators and related surface buildings. From the Safety point of view,...

30. P61B Large Volume Press

Sabine Lessmann (DESY)

New Projects and Challenges

The P61B Large Volume Press (LVP) extreme conditions beamline will utilize white-beam synchrotron X-ray radiation with an energy range of 30-200 keV. The structure and properties of samples can be measured in situ under extreme conditions of high pressures and temperatures. A standalone use of the Large Volume Press without beam for materials synthesis has taken up operation for experienced...
