Introduction to Safety Training
This document is your copy of our Safety Training. Its purpose is to assure that
an operator receives the basic training necessary to develop safe and effective job skills
required of an accelerator Operator 2. Further, it provides the operator with a listing of
all of the information that is necessary to pass the Safety portion of the Operator 2 exam.
It serves as checklist, guideline, and record of the training process. As such, it is very
important that you don't lose this, or you may have to start over!
Here's how the process works:
Each numbered training topic has a description of what is to be accomplished, and a sign-
off box to show that you have completed the training. The sign-off box identifies the
person who assures that the training you receive is correct and complete. Many sign-off
boxes identify this person simply as 'Trainer'. Your mentors most usually will serve the
role of ‘Trainer’, although any Operator II or more senior member of this Operations
Department may assume this task.
Here's an example of the format:

The Safety Training Book is broken down into two sections:
I. On the Job Training:
The primary purpose of the Safety OJT is to introduce operators to the
procedures and tasks carried out on a day-to-day basis related safety. Examples
of OJT include: definitions of critical devices, and location of safety system
displays. The information covered in the OJT will help the Operator 1 develop
the safety skills needed to become a contributing Operator 2.

II. Self Tests:
The primary purpose of the Safety Self-Tests is to provide the operator with
feedback on their progress in the training program. They are a set of self-paced
tests composed of multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, and matching
questions. There are three levels of self-tests. Level 1 is intended for the 3 to 6
month level, level 2 is intended for the 6 to 12 month level and level 3 is intended
for the pre-op2 level.
Included at the back of this document are a few blank pages. These are for you to
write in any comments about the training topics and process if you wish. Good luck on
your new job, there is much for you to accomplish on your way to becoming an Operator
II. You should find those who work with you to be helpful and friendly, just ask for
assistance when you need it.

Safety Training Part 1: OJT
8.1 Safety System
1. Safety System Introduction
________________
Trainer Date
Understand that the purpose of the safety system is to protect
personnel from electrical and radiation hazards in beam enclosures.
You should be
aware that:
_____ The Electrical Safety System (ESS) protects personnel from electrical
hazards in an enclosure.
_____ The Critical Device Controller (CDC) system protects personnel from
Radiation hazards in an enclosure.
_____ The safety system has built in redundancy.
_____ The CDC permit and ESS have separate A and B loops.
_____ Most enclosure doors have two switches (one mechanical and
one magnetic) to detect the status of the doors.
_____ Each enclosure has two critical devices (or two ways to
disable a single device), which can disable beam to an
enclosure.
_____ The safety system is fail-safe. If a circuit fails, the failure results in a
safe condition. Loops and permits are active “HIGH” for proper
operation, meaning that a supplied voltage must always be present to
keep the permit good. If a wire is cut, for instance, the permit is dropped.
_____ Work on Safety System
_____ Only the AD ES&H Interlock Group is authorized to work on
the safety system.
________________
2. Critical Devices
Trainer Date Understand that a critical device is a device controlled by the Critical
Device Controller (CDC) to enable or disable beam to an area. You
should also be aware that:
_____ A critical device failure occurs if the CDC detects a critical device in an
indeterminate state which may allow beam into an enclosure without a
beam permit.
_____ The failure mode critical device inhibits beam to an area if a critical
device failure occurs.
_____ Know that one type of critical device is a collimator, which is a block of
metal that can be put in the path of beam.
Rev. 2.3.7 Safety Specialist Walkaround 5 of 22
Operator
Fermilab Accelerator Division Operations Department
_____ Find the critical devices or failure mode critical devices for any area
using Netscape: http://www-bd.fnal.gov/cgi-safety/cd.pl or the Safety
System pages
_____ Understand how the critical device inhibits or allows beam into an area.
_____ Know the critical devices for all enclosures.

Chassis. Know where to find the parameters associated

knowledge should include:
_____ The “A” circuit is the electrical hardwire loop through all the enclosure
door switches, summed with the ground fault circuit (not the accelerator
component) and the enclosure keys.
_____ The “B” circuit is the logic loop through all the enclosure interlock box
sequence relays, summed with the scram switches, and the enclosure
keys.
_____ The Emergency loop (scram switches) consists of pull cords or large red
crash buttons in Linac, Booster, Main Injector, and Switchyard that will
drop the inputs to the ESS for the enclosure.
________________ 5. Electrical Safety System (ESS) vs. CDC
Trainer Date Understand that the ESS gives you a permit to turn on power supplies
(minus the critical devices) for an enclosure and a CDC permit allows
beam to an enclosure (through the critical devices). You should also
understand:
_____ That some enclosures are linked via CDC inputs, but do not share the
same ESS. These enclosures are linked for radiation safety, but not for
electrical safety.
_____ Which enclosure(s) share an ESS.
_____ That the ESS is automatically whooped when all of its inputs are made
up.
_____ The CDC permit is obtained by resetting the CDC chassis after all the
inputs are made up.
