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)
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
