How to get access permissions for Point 1 ?
How to get the permission to work at Point 1 ?

 

4) ATLAS Experimental areas work declaration:

To be allowed to work in the Point 1 experimental areas UX15, US15, USA15 (except the counting rooms and the cryogenics/magnet control room), SGX1, SX1 and SR1, all activities whether they concern infrastructure or the ATLAS detectors, must have been declared in advance and approved the ATLAS safety management.

A work declaration shall be done by the technical responsible to the ATLAS Technical Coordination in advance (at least 2 weeks before the beginning of activity) at Work declaration.

A description of the activity, its location, the detailed schedule, the detailed list of intervening people, the needs of scaffoldings or nacelles, and a first estimation of the risks associated to the activity shall be provided in this declaration.
For the work in the caverns UX15 and US15 and for the Toroid area, an approved work declaration is mandatory in order that the access of the intervening persons is granted by the SLIMOS.

Depending on the risks associated to the activity, the GLIMOS, the OPM and the Technical Coordinator will require a Work Package analysis and a PPSPS (Special Safety and Health Protection Plan). 

The list of the approved activities is available at Work declaration.

Some specific activities information or experimental areas daily safety status or access constraints are available in the ATLAS operation web page.

In case of any question about the current access or safety status in the ATLAS experimental areas, contact the SLIMOS in the ATLAS Control Room (78804), 24H/24, 7D/7.

 

Work Package analysis and PPSPS:

The PPSPS form is available at https://edms.cern.ch/document/971293 .


The documentation shall be sent at least two weeks before the activity begins to the ATLAS Work Package analysis Manager Dimitar MLADENOV, Dimitar.Mladenov@cern.ch ) .


It should pay particular attention to the description of all the special risks associated to the work to be performed and their counter measures. The following can be considered as “special risks” : working at heights, work in radioactive areas, using nacelles, hot work (welding etc.), working with flammable gases, working near high voltage installation, transport and use of radioactive sources or materials, use of non-ionizing radiation, such as lasers, cryogenics work, ….


The optimization of the activity procedure in order to minimize dose rates received during the activity for the personnel intervening inside the UX15 cavern will be done during the Work package analysis meeting by the ALARA coordinator. If required for activity in the hottest regions of UX15, dedicated ALARA meetings might be run.

The Work package analysis meeting is run with :
·       ATLAS Work Package analysis Manager
·       Activity Technical Responsible
·       ATLAS RSO
·       ATLAS ALARA Coordinator
·       ATLAS GLIMOS
·       ATLAS Safety Coordinator
.

The list of all ATLAS Work Packages with associated PPSPS is available on EDMS ATLAS Technical Coordination / Technical matters / Safety / Work packages analysis .

The necessity to issue an IS37 (deactivation of a safety system) or a fire permit request might be determined during the work package analysis meeting.
The list of possible Radioprotection measurements (dose, contamination,..) is analyzed during the Work Package analysis and included in the detailed procedure of the activity.
A Joint safety inspection with the safety coordinators is required before authorizing the activity.
