1. 1 TB/Safety Summary Andy Nichols, STFC – RAL MICE Collaboration Meeting, Harbin, 13-17th January 2009

2. TB/Safety Summary Need for safety discussion: –MICE-ISIS Safety Management meetings are held regularly –They are the de-facto top level safety forum –But we were understandably told not to use them for detail project safety discussion –We had two accidents, one lost time, so we are now on the HSE’s radar – we were asked to tighten up –So the Technical Board’s remit is expanded to include project Safety policy –New members: John Alexander – PPS Mike Courthold – Cryogenic systems Willie Spensley – CDM Matt Dickson – independent (STFC H&S representative)

3. TB/Safety summary The existing CDM regime will continue in the MICE hall for the life of Phase Two –But much of the phase two-specific hardware needs specialist safety consideration outside the CDM –This will be formulated by the TB at monthly meetings –A formal report is then submitted to the MICE-ISIS Safety Board MICE users need to co-operate with the TB on all matters of safety –Early indication of risks/procedures/hazards should be given so that risk assessments can be made effectively –Not too much is impossible as long as it’s understood and written down and the right people and procedures are involved! –Willie or Andy are the contact people
