Hazard Assessment

Step 1: Laboratory registrationOn-line data entry: list potential hazards in the area (laser, radiation, cryogenic, electrical, powered industrial equipment, and many more.)Designate responsible personnelSpecify personnel training required

Hazard Assessment

Step 2: Safety AnalysisWritten safety analysis required for new experiments and for significant changes in experiments.Written procedures as determined by safety analysis

Hazard Assessment

Step 3: ReviewInternal project reviewReview by PSFC Safety Committee Review by MIT presidential committee (Institute Radiation Protection Committee, Institute Council on EHS)

• Safety bulletin boards, memos, training updates• Lab specific MSDS sheets and SOPs at point of use• Referral to MIT EHS professionals• MIT website:

http://web.mit.edu/environment/environmental/ehs_services

Emergency Preparedness

• Emergency Action Plan• Laboratory hazard identification• Emergency notification• Fire and emergency alert systems

upgrade• Institute wide emergency preparedness

upgrade

Inspections

• Weekly by EHS reps (focus on environmental compliance)

• Semi-annually by PSFC safety committee• Annually by MIT EHS• Spot inspection by management, MIT EHS

Inspections/Audits

• Annual, Cambridge Fire Department• Bi-annually, program audit by MIT audit

division• External program audit 2-4 years• Regulatory Agency (EPA)

MIT EHS Management System• History: Following an EPA audit in 2000 where

numerous procedural problems were encountered, MIT entered a consent decree with EPA to design and install an environmental management program

• From the outset, safety and health was included in the program

• This system provides a uniform system across the Institute

• The initial system design was based on the PSFC program

• Implementation is now complete, upgrades are beginning

• The consent decree with EPA has been formally closed

MIT EHS Management System• Emphasis on line responsibility of management

and accountability of management• Establishment of clear roles and responsibilities

for EHS• Establishment of system of rewards and

consequences for EHS performance• Appointment of EHS coordinators in all

departments, labs, and centers at MIT• Appointment of EHS reps in all laboratory units• Provision of centralized training, training

database

New MIT Central Services• Centralized training tools and web based

training (winter ‘02-’03) Many on-line training courses currently available; More courses added as they are developed. Live courses also have been added to the catalog.

• Centralized laboratory hazard registration (spring ‘03) System migrated to SAP and upgraded 2005.

• Centralized training record database fully available (fall ‘03) System migrated to SAP and upgraded 2005.

New MIT Central Services

• Uniform inspection and audit materials, and central inspection data collection (summer ‘03) Actual implementation 2005. Currently being revamped; upgrade to roll out July 2008.

• Central hazardous material inventory (summer ‘04) Actual implementation SARA 2005, full inventory 2007

• Uniform system of rewards and consequences (summer ‘04) Actual?

Security at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center

• The PSFC maintains a independent cardkey system controlled and managed jointly by the Center’s Facilities Management and EHS personnel.

• The advantage of combining access control with the internal safety requirements gives managers the tools needed to ensure that personnel accessing PSFC spaces have completed required safety training and that terminated personnel are unable to gain entry.

• Cards have clearance codes that allow entry only to certain “door groups”.

• Active dates and time codes control when the cards will operate doors.

Security at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center

• Information obtained through our safety briefing process informsPSFC Managers about how to program each cardkey to allow access only to doors where personnel work.

• The PSFC’s perimeter security system links hardwired sensors on exterior doors with MIT’s Police monitoring systems.

• Propped doors (or in some cases doors opened without prior notification) will transmit alarms initiating MIT Police dispatch of officers to the alarm location.

• PSFC is currently working with the MIT Security and Emergency Management Office to upgrade the perimeter alarm system to improve data transfer to MIT Police Dispatchers.
