Check list ========== Before your beamtime begins, the supporting beamline scientist will thoroughly review each item on the following checklist to ensure all safety protocols and procedures are clearly understood. Additionally, you will receive a 2-BM beamline-specific safety orientation. Emergencies ----------- 911 and 630-252-1911 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Explain the difference between the two numbers Note the location of the sector (Bldg. 400, column number xx) to use when contacting 911 Fires and Tornadoes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Fire extinguisher locations and use (if qualified) Fire Alarms – Explain APS two-stage fire alarm system Building Evacuation Route – Provide instructions as to where your sector gathers after an evacuation and how to get to the rally point Shelter locations for tornados (restrooms) Safe Conduct of Experimental Work --------------------------------- Experiment Safety Guidelines ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Work within scope of the ESAF ESAF must be posted before starting work SOPs ~~~~ :: Work must be conducted within the scope of the SOP Note relevant SOPs at Sector that apply to users Stop Work Authority ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Explain that everyone has stop work authority at ANL Explain rights and responsibilities of stop work authority Working alone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Explain sector policy on working alone Explain how to contact the on-duty floor coordinator (2-0101) Electrical Safety ----------------- Device Inspections (DEEI) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Explain when a DEEI is required Verify that all electrical equipment is NRTL or DEEI inspected Electrical Work ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Prohibited activities: rewiring of plugs, cables, or any other electrical equipment, connecting and disconnecting motor cables with power on Users are not allowed to perform unsupervised electrical work Users are not allowed to reset tripped circuit breakers Extension cords and power strips must be used appropriately. No overloading or daisy-chaining Note any sector-specific electrical hazards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chemical/Wet Lab ---------------- ALL CHEMICALS MUST BE IDENTIFIED ON THE ESAF! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ General Rules for use of wet lab ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Label chemicals Storage and use of chemicals Use of fume hoods, gloveboxes, etc. PPE ~~~ :: Describe required PPE and where to obtain PPE Eye Wash and Shower ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Note location of these items (provide a picture) Sharps ~~~~~~ Any additional lab specific hazards (lasers, robots, etc.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chemical Waste ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Requirements for waste left at end of the experiment Shipping ~~~~~~~~ :: Procedure for shipping to and from APS Procedures to follow when lab work is complete ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Experimental Hutches -------------------- Emergency controls ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Describe Emergency Beam stops, emergency door controls, and their use (provide pictures as an example) No one is allowed inside an experiment station at the APS with the doors closed Search and Secure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Describe how to conduct a search and secure of all applicable stations Include diagram of hutch search patterns Note the requirement that enclosure search and egress paths must remain unobstructed Radiation Safety ---------------- Configuration Controlled Equipment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Description of equipment, RSS tag example (use yellow tag for example; red tags are the old style) These components are to not be removed or tampered with Labyrinths must never be opened by users. Describe process to have FC open them if needed. Personnel Safety System ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Describe function Beamline Enclosures ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Should not be drilled into, punctured, etc. Dosimetry ~~~~~~~~~ :: All personnel on the APS Experiment Hall Floor are required to wear a dosimeter Confirm that user is appropriately wearing their dosimeter (on torso midway between the neck and the waist) Sealed Sources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Radiation Generating Devices (RGDs) (if applicable) Utility Shutoffs ---------------- :: Describe/provide pictures for locations of utility shutoffs for electricity, water, and compressed gases Describe notification procedure if utility shutoffs are used General Safety Guidelines ------------------------- Egress areas ~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Outlined in yellow tape Show examples Items are not to be stored in these areas Liquid Nitrogen Safety ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: PPE ODH concerns, as appropriate Compressed Gas Cylinders ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Use regulators and piping of appropriate pressure rating and for gas used Secure cylinders to wall when in use; to a cylinder cart when transporting Cap cylinders when not in use ODH hazards/monitor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: Provide instructions on response to alarming monitor (call 2-0101) Personnel are not allowed to enter any hutch in which an ODH monitor is alarming General rules ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: State importance of minimizing tripping hazards, especially inside experimental enclosures Tricycle usage at the APS: safe speed, parking, do not use other sector’s tricycles Pedestrian Safety: Walkway is shared by people and variety of motorized/moving vehicles Look both ways before stepping into the walkway
