Phase Two of FFTB Removal Begins
Safety Today: Site-Wide Injury Prevention Discussion
DOE Designates May Electrical Safety Month
Tuesday - May 2, 2006 |
Phase Two of FFTB Removal BeginsExpect to see trucks ferrying 70-feet-long blocks of concrete up and down the Gallery Road along the linac in May and June. Phase two of the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) removal project began May 1. This phase includes removing about 70 such blocks of concrete, each weighing 38 tons, which make up the roof and walls of the FFTB. The FFTB received its last particle beam on April 10, just minutes before phase one began. During the three-week phase one, SLAC staff disconnected electrical and personnel protection systems, removed vacuum drift chambers and other valuable experimental equipment, and ensured no hazards remained for phase two.

Site-Wide Injury Prevention DiscussionSLAC has already suffered more recordable injuries for fiscal year 2006 than it did for all of 2005. To prevent future injuries, senior management, ES&H and the Directorate would like your help. All SLAC department managers and supervisors are asked to hold injury prevention discussions with their staff on Thursday, May 11. The goal is to open a dialog between the employees and their supervisors. Employees are asked to use this time to provide feedback to their department managers and safety coordinators on how to prevent injuries. "We encourage all employees to participate in these discussions," said Safety Engineer Tom Rizzi. "Along with the front-line supervisors, employees doing the work are the ones who can have the greatest impact on safety." ES&H has created a PowerPoint presentation, located on the Plan of Action webpage, that can be used as a tool to fuel conversation during the May 11th discussions. Department Managers and supervisors are encouraged to use all or part of this presentation in leading their department's discussion. For more information on this site-wide discussion, please contact Tom Rizzi. |
