INTRODUCTION
This note is being distributed to all CDF experimenters and Fermilab CDF staff. The objective is to provide a short overview of work rules, required training and ES&H (Environmental, Safety and Health) issues in the CDF building and around the CDF detector. It is expected that all individuals will follow the PPD Implementation of Integrated Safety Management (ISM) core functions for every task.

• Define the work
• Analyze the hazards associated with the task(s)
• Take action to mitigate those hazards
• Perform the work within the hazard controls
• Provide feedback to allow improvements

CDF REGISTRATION
All CDF experimenters and all Fermilab CDF staff are required to register with the CDF Department. To register, simply read this information and sign on the last page indicating that you understand your responsibilities, then deliver the last page to the CDF Department (Carol Picciolo (166-P) or Stephanie Schuler (171-I) in the CDF trailers). Your name will then be entered in the data base of people authorized to work in the CDF building.

If some of the information on the last page of this packet changes (you moved, changed institutions, changed your phone number, etc.), please contact

Carol Picciolo or Stephanie Schuler with these changes (carol@fnal.gov or steph@fnal.gov). Also, please update the CDF Run II People Database.

Note: It is particularly important that advisors remember to get their students registered! Note also that the CDF registration is in addition to the normal User registration at Fermilab!

Rules for Access to B0 Assembly Building are at this link

BUILDING KEYS
If you need a key to an office, see building key request form at Building Key Request Form or obtained from Carol Picciolo or Stephanie Schuler.

HAZARDS IN THE CDF BUILDING
Hazards that can be encountered include d.c. High Voltage (HV), 60 Hz and 400 Hz a.c. voltages, low voltage high current systems, flammable gases, dangerous heights, falling objects, operating cranes and radioactive sources.

GENERAL WORK RULES AND TRAINING
The responsibility for using safe working practices begins with you. This is reasonable because you have a vital interest in not getting seriously hurt. An important element of safety is common sense. Examples:

1) You should not work on unfamiliar equipment without first obtaining some information about it.

2) You should be alert to situations that are inherently dangerous and where special work rules therefore apply (example: Work on live high power electrical systems). In such cases, you should find out what the rules are, then comply with them. This document lists some (but not all) of the dangers and associated rules in the CDF Building.

3) Working at your terminal late at night is fine, but if you want to work on the detector at any time, you must have a "buddy" around. This way, there is somebody who can call for help if you get hurt.

4) Get training as required before engaging in work.

RULES FOR "CLIMBING ON DETECTOR"
You must have Fall Protection training before climbing on the detector. You must wear a Safety Harness whenever work on the detector is being done in places that would expose someone to falls equal or greater then four feet. You are also required to obey the two-man rule: You must have a "buddy" working with you when you climb on the detector! Safety harnesses can be found near the elevator on the lower level.

HARD HAT POLICY
Hard hats must be worn by all personnel who work on the Collision Hall Floor or on the Assembly Pit Floor. Hard hats should not be worn when working above ground level, unless you are exposed to a bump hazard, either on the detector or on a lift. (be aware that a falling hard hat could hurt somebody below). If you chose to wear one, it must be used with a chin strap.

If you begin work in a location above somebody else already at work, it is your responsibility to warn them before starting to work. Workers on the cryo platform should exercise particular care to warn others.

It is expected that certain situations could arise where, due to the level or type of activity in an area, all personnel will be directed to wear hard hats.

Note that special work rules apply near the beam pipe (very fragile).

The most common types of training required are listed below:

COLLISION HALL CONTROLLED ACCESS TRAINING
To make a controlled access to the Collision Hall, this training is required. The training is in the form a video, a brief explanation, a handout on Accelerator Division controlled access procedures and a test. Once you have completed this training, successfully passed the test and signed the associated signature sheet, your training will entered in the training database. Training must be renewed annually. To renew your training you only need to read the handout, sign the associated signature sheet and pass the test. All prerequisite safety training must be current.

SUPERVISED ACCESS TRAINING
To make a supervised access to the Collision this training is required. The training consists of reading the Supervised Access procedures, successfully completing the test, plus your signature that you have understood your responsibilities. Once this is complete, your training will be entered in the training database. All prerequisite safety training must be current.

ODH (OXYGEN DEFICIENCY HAZARD) TRAINING
ODH training is not currently needed for any part of CDF including the Collision Hall. All parts of CDF are now classified as ODH Class 0.

GENERAL EMPLOYEE RADIATION TRAINING (GERT)
GERT is required to be taken by all personnel working on CDF, who do not have Radiation Worker training. This training is valid for a two year period.

RADIATION WORKER TRAINING
This is required by all personnel who are on shift and/or who will be making a supervised or controlled access into the CDF Collision Hall. This training is currently valid for a two year period.

RADIOACTIVE SOURCES AND SOURCE TRAINING
If you are going to work with radioactive sources, you must have the appropriate training. This training is currently online.

If you plan on having a radioactive source brought to CDF you must contact Radiation Physics to let them know before it arrives. All sources must be kept in the radioactive source cabinet when not in use. To get a source from the source cabinet contact the CDF source monitor (see list on source cabinet).

Remember in particular that every time a source is relocated or transported, Radiation Physics and the CDF source monitors (see list on source cabinet) must be notified in advance.

Radioactive sources or materials are not permitted in the office areas in B0.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY ORIENTATION TRAINING
All Fermilab employees are required to take Electrical Safety Orientation (formerly LOTO I) training. Those employees who will be involved in lockout/tagouts or who will be supervising or writing such procedures, are required to take Lockout/Tagout II.

"SCISSOR LIFT" TRAINING
"Hands-on" training in the use of the different types of scissor lifts in the CDF building will be given by Dervin Allen or Lew Morris. You must have this training before you are allowed to operate any lift. You should also be aware that these lifts can do a lot of damage to delicate and, in some cases, essentially irreplaceable equipment, so use them with care.

CRANE AND FORK LIFT TRAINING
If you need to operate these devices, see Dee Hahn or Dervin Allen to find out what it takes to become qualified.

DRIVING GOVERNMENT VEHICLES
A valid regular driver’s license is required of all Fermilab employees who drive government vehicles.

Users will be allowed to use the CDF Department vehicles, when available, if they are holding a valid state drivers license. These vehicles are intended for short term use (one half hour on site trips).

Users who need full use of a government vehicle while working at Fermilab must make arrangement with their home institution to obtain a Fermilab vehicle, prior to arriving at Fermilab.

Failure to conform to the procedures and regulations of the safety program may mean denial of user access to laboratory facilities.

SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY AND MANAGEMENT
To quote from a letter from a former Director to Fermilab Personnel and users:

"At Fermilab we have long held that the most effective way to manage ES&H (Environment, Safety and Health) activities is through the line organizations. The line begins with each and every employee and all are held accountable for the implementation of the Fermilab ES&H program. Users have a very special responsibility because they bring equipment to Fermilab for their research.

Access to Fermilab facilities is contingent upon adherence to Fermilab ES&H policies."

If you see somebody acting in an unsafe manner, it is your responsibility to correct the situation or, if not possible, to alert others to have it corrected.

If you damage something on the detector or see damage you must report it. This is not to place blame on someone, but to repair the damage at its origin rather than making a later attempt to locate the source of the problem.

FLAMMABLE GAS
All use of flammable gas must be coordinated through Del Allspach.

DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS
Disposal of hazardous materials, chemicals or liquids of any type in ordinary trash containers or dumpsters is prohibited. Questions concerning proper disposal methods should be addressed to the Particle Physics Division ES&H Department. In the CDF Building, The Building Manager (Jamie Grado) can usually arrange for proper disposal.

Radioactive materials must be discarded in the designated barrels. The radiation technician or RSO must be contacted for the disposal of such materials.

MATERIAL MOVE REQUESTS
Virtually all shipping of materials, whether inside or outside the lab, must be accompanied by a "Material Move Request Form". A signoff that the material has been measured not to be radioactive is required. The people in CDF who are authorized to sign off are: Dervin Allen, Roberto Davilla, and Jamie Grado.

For shipment of radioactive materials and sources, consult the ES&H Section.

INFORMATION FOR CDF TOUR GUIDES
ALL TOURS MUST BE APPROVED IN ADVANCE - contact Dee Hahn

The tour entrance is the Main Entrance to the building near the South-West corner. The usual guided tour remains on the main floor within the tour area (blue floor).

There are cases when tours need to be taken into the Assembly Pit (and, when there is supervised access, into the Collision Hall). The following rules apply for such tours:

1) Since it is the responsibility of the tour guide to make sure that the tour group is not put in any danger, the guide must be knowledgeable about the hazards in the building and near the detector. The tour guide must ask the Operations Manager or the Safety Coordinator to obtain approval for the tour.

2) The tour guide must wear their dosimetry badge in the Collision Hall.

3) Before entering the Collision Hall the tour guide must review the Supervised Access work rules with all members of the tour.

Remember that persons under the age of 18 need prior approval by the ES&H Section Head to enter any radiation area. Special rules also apply to pregnant women.

Permanent dosimetry badges can be obtained by contacting the CDF Safety Coordinator. You can request that yours be added to the dosimetry badge rack in the CDF building. Temporary dosimetry badges can be obtained from Dee Hahn or the Operations Manager.

EMERGENCY WARNING SIGNALS IN THE CDF BUILDING
These are as listed at the back of the Fermilab Telephone Directory:

The enclosed staircases below ground level and the ground level washrooms serve as tornado shelters for the CDF Building and trailers. There is an additional tornado shelter behind Building 327.

RESPONSE TO SERIOUS INJURY OR ILLNESS
In case of an emergency situation (e.g. serious injury or illness), dial 3131, give your name, location and the nature of the emergency. Stay on the phone until the emergency operator indicates they have all the necessary information. It is not always easy to tell the extent of an injury or illness. Therefore, please err on the side of caution. That is, if there is any doubt, call 3131.

In emergency situations, it is important to be able to describe your location accurately. Example: My office is on the third floor of the CDF building, location 309 (as indicated by a small blue tag under the ceiling). The Trailer lunch room is room 146-D in trailer #146.
