NSF Audit Accelerator Safety Envelopes Picture of the Week E. Lessard Collider-Accelerator Department 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 3

Minor Nonconformance  ELEMENT 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 7  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
