New Employee Safety Information:
You’ve been through New
Employee Orientation…So, what’s next?
The Computing Division is committed to providing a safe
working environment and encourage safe working practices for all of its
employees and others who work with or for us. We fully support the Laboratory
safety programs and initiatives. Our Senior Safety Officer has put together the following information for you as you begin your work in our
Division. Please read it through and perform the action items.
ITNA
Here’s
your chance to look like you know what you’re doing!! Remind your supervisor to do an Individual
Training Needs Assessment (ITNA) on you, if he/she hasn’t, already.
Training
Okay, your ITNA is done,
right? Look here to see what training you need.
Enter your ID number and hit “submit”
Now go get the training! How? Sign up here.... (Again, enter your ID number and hit “submit.”)
If you can’t find a
class scheduled, (as indicated on the left of the screen), you can request the
class that you need, (see right side of screen) and you will be notified when
it is available.
Computer Room Work
Does your
job bring you into the computer room? If
so, make sure that you read the Computer Room Training Document. This will tell you vital information about
all of Computing Division’s computer rooms. After you click on the link, look
for “Computer Room Training”.
If you are
going to be involved in the purchasing of equipment in the computer room, you
MUST follow the notifications and procedures in this document, Failure to do so will result in the
delay of your equipment being installed.
Controlled Access
The Computing Division has controlled access areas in the Feynman Computing Center
building and Wilson Hall. In addition to standard locks and keys in many areas,
ID card readers are utilized where operating environments and/or asset value is
important. Card readers read employee ID and expiration date information
bar-coded on the backs of the cards. Doors controlled by card readers have
electronic locks. They can also be opened by key.
New and renewed Fermi ID cards should be
presented to our Facilities Support Services located in FCC1E, room 144, x3537. The appropriate information will be entered
into our system to allow card access to areas where you need to work. Our
building manager must have some form of approval from your supervisor before
access can be granted. Web accessible maps of card reader locations and hours
can be viewed at http://cd-aperture.fnal.gov/scripts/spserver/projlist.dll.
Once there, select the card reader project and follow the instructions.
Emergency Plans
Dial 3131 for EMERGENCIES!!!! 
Wilson Hall
See the Wilson Hall Emergency Plan
Fire: Do not use the elevators! Evacuate through the south stairwell, head
all the way down to the ground floor and go out the exit. Assemble in the parking lot. If the south stairwell is blocked, use the
north stairwell. Make sure that you exit
the building! Physically disabled
individuals should be assisted to the stairwell (on the other side of the fire
door!) and wait for the fire dept. to assist them down the stairs.
Severe Weather: Head immediately to the
ground floor shelter by way of the south stairwell. The shelter is located on the ground floor,
between Wilson Hall and the Booster
Tower. As you approach the ground floor, signs will
direct you to the shelter. Physically
disabled individuals should assemble in the bathrooms located at the north end
of the building. Remain in the shelter
until the floor warden, under the direction of the Com. Center, states that it
is safe otherwise.
FCC
See the FCC Emergency Plan
Fire: Do not use the elevators! Evacuate the building using the nearest exit
or exit stairwell. Exits and exit
stairwells are located at the east and west sides, as well as the center rear
of the building. The designated
evacuation assembly area is the grassy area north of the FCC parking lot. Those
who have exited from the rear of the building should assemble at the north
grassy area, next to the ditch by the road.
In case of inclement weather and/or delayed re-entry into FCC, assembled
personnel will be instructed by management to report to their alternate
evacuation assembly area. The alternate evacuation assembly area is CDF.
Severe Weather: Report to the
designated shelter on your floor. Remain in the shelter until the floor warden,
under the direction of the Com. Center, states that it is otherwise safe. The designated shelters are: first floor
– conference room, east side of tape vault (manually shut center door) and
washrooms; second floor – washrooms, conference rooms A & B and center
stairwell; and third floor – head to the rear
stairwell, follow the signs and proceed down the stairwell to the mezzanine,
which is located between the 1st and 2nd floor.
D0
Fire: Do not use the
elevators! Evacuate the building using
the nearest exit or exit stairwell.
Assemble in the North parking lot, unless instructed otherwise by the
emergency warden.
Severe Weather: Report to the 1st and 2nd
floor Fixed Counting Rooms. Remain in
the shelter until the floor warden, under the direction of the Com. Center,
states that it is safe otherwise.
CDF
Fire: Do not use the
elevators! Evacuate the building using
the nearest exit or exit stairwell.
Severe Weather: Report to the North or East
stairwells that lead to the pit level.
Remain in the shelter until the floor warden, under the direction of the
Com. Center, states that it is safe otherwise.
Injuries
Most
common injuries in Computing Division:
- Back (repetitive lifting and
one-time lifts)
- “Office Athlete” injuries – repetitive motion
injuries to wrists, hands, shoulders and neck due to computer work
- Trips
and falls
Plain
and simple, if you hurt yourself at work, tell your supervisor
and go to Medical! Not reporting your
injury may result in delaying recovery time, especially if the injury is
serious! It could also mean an angry
boss because Lab policy requires immediate reporting of injuries.
Finally –
Please sit down with your supervisor and discuss with him/her the expectations
they have, including training, working safely, working alone, the division’s
card reader system http://computing.fnal.gov/xms/?pid=1000040,
etc. The better informed you are, the less likely
you will be to get into trouble!
