       Dear sPHENIX Users at BNL,
                 There will be a safety stand down in all CAD
              facilities tomorrow,
                Friday October 22. The only work to be done
              tomorrow in CAD
                facilities including 1008 and 912 are safety
              discussions. This
                applies to employees and visitors working in CAD
              facilities. 
                There will be a CAD All Hands Safety meeting tomorrow. 
                Anyone wishing to participate
                in the CAD All Hands Safety meeting tomorrow can attend
            the
                Zoom meeting with the connection information below.
            
                Thank you, and stay safe.

        Dear PHENIX group,
      
      As Hong Ma writes, there will be a C-AD safety stand down tomorrow
      (Friday).  He also asks that we participate in the stand down
      meetings.
      
      So, please start by calling in to the C-AD all-hands meeting at 9am: 
     https://bnl.zoomgov.com/j/1618504251?pwd=TmpVRkNIV3lPWTNHeUs0bnhydzVPZz09

Be safe,

Hi all,

 

                C-AD will be in safety stand down on Friday, Oct 22.

                The Physics Department staff working in C-AD should follow the same procedure, and participate in the stand down meetings. Please communicate to staff in your group.

 

                Best,

               

                Hong.

Subject: C-AD wide safety stand down tomorrow, October 22nd, 2021

All,

Our department has now clearly fallen behind on safety.  The number of safety events are visibly increasing.

Most urgently, we had 3 electric shock events since July 2021 including a shock event today.

In these 3 events, 5 of our coworkers received a shock. Though nobody was seriously injured in those shocks 
the response to these events was inadequate.

 

Therefore, I am ordering a 1-day long C-AD wide safety stand-down for Friday, October 22^nd, 2021,

during regular work hours 9am to 5pm.

 

We will start with a C-AD all-hands meeting at 9am:

https://bnl.zoomgov.com/j/1618504251?pwd=TmpVRkNIV3lPWTNHeUs0bnhydzVPZz09 
Passcode: 159332

 

After that I ask that all supervisors and workers review work planning, including LOTO, and responses to events
in their work areas.

All work in all C-AD facilities should pause, including beam operation, unless it is unsafe to do so.

All meetings scheduled for tomorrow should focus on safety or be canceled.

We will provide more information tomorrow.

The ESSHQ Division will be available for any safety and work planning concerns you may have. Feel free to contact
Ray Fliller (rfliller AT bnl.gov) or Frank Craner (craner AT bnl.gov).

 

We now need to step back and assure ourselves that all work is properly planned, can be

safely executed, and is stopped when unforeseen and unsafe circumstances are encountered.

 

I count on everyone’s active participation in tomorrow’s events. Without working safely we cannot fulfill our mission
of building and upgrading accelerators, and delivering beams to our users. The department has delivered

exceptionally well on the science mission even during the pandemic - we must and can do the same for safety.
