Sample EH&S Review Committee Charge

  reviewing mechanical, electrical, flammable gas, fire protection, ODH and radiation safety aspects of all experiments. In addition, the committee is responsible for coordinating reviews of any cryogenic systems by existing cryogenics safety panels. ``Experiment" is defined as all detector components and associated support equipment. The Committee shall review the systems indicated on the appropriate Preliminary Hazard Assessment spreadsheets for the hazards which are shown against applicable standards and ensure that proper analysis and documentation exists. The Committee shall review Quality Assurances aspects of these experiments during the course of the EH&S reviews such as ensuring good engineering design, practices and documentation exists. Additional systems or items identified by the Committee, the Physics division head or Senior Safety Officers of the Physics division shall also be reviewed. The Committee is free to combine several system reviews into one report (i.e. all systems having conventional electrical hazards may be completed in a single review.). A ``design review" shall be performed at or near the conclusion of the design stage of each new system or modified previously used system. An ``operating review" shall be performed prior to initial operation of each system. The Committee may elect to perform additional reviews for particularly complex or hazardous systems. The results of these reviews shall be communicated to the head of the Physics division in a report which contains the following documentation: The summary report and supporting documentation will be retained in the Physics division Office experiment files. Radiation safety reviews shall satisfy the requirements of theTJNAF Radiological Control Manual. A EH&S Review Coordinator will be assigned to each experiment. The Review Coordinator will monitor the design, construction and installation phases of the experiment and contact the Committee chair at least two weeks prior to any needed review. The Committee may request supplemental assistance from the Physics division to complete these reviews in a timely fashion.
