  14. Safety Management • Hardware safety systems • Training • Safety through simplicity • Failsafe envelope • Examples: • Liquid nitrogen – better tools • Automatic retraction – eliminate confusion • Automatic backup – eliminate distraction

  15. Safety Envelope Radiation Safety System (RSS) Personnel Protection System (PSS) Equipment Protection System (EPS) GERT Training 8.3.1 Training experiment

  17. Safety Envelope “There is no safety system that can stop a determined user with a hacksaw” -Anonymous Solution: Create tools that enhance productivity within the safety envelope

  18. Example 1: Liquid nitrogen

  19. Liquid nitrogen safety concern

  20. A safer way

  21. Safer and more productive!

  22. ADSC Quantum 210 Example 2: Automatic detector retraction

  23. ADSC Quantum 210

  24. ADSC Quantum 210 Detector retraction

  25. ADSC Quantum 210 Detector retraction

  26. Automatic detector retraction • Detector motors are disabled with hutch door open (pinch hazard) • Sample is difficult to access with detector in data collection position • Common mistake: • forget to retract detector before opening door • Result: confusion • Solution: • Door will not open with detector forward • Detector automatically retracts on door open attempt

Distraction is unsafe! Drivers following a car that suddenly brakes take longer to respond to that event when they are distracted by trying to solve a logic problem. This is especially true if the two vehicles start out close together--when it is critical that the driver in the following vehicle make a rapid response to avoid a rear-end collision.

  30. Safety Summary • Encourage safe practices by making them the best way to get results • Measures are in addition to existing ALS safety envelope • Better science and better safety can go hand in hand
