Hall Access

Access to the hall will be governed by the JLab Beam Containment Policy, and work in designated radiation areas will in accordance with the JLab RadCon Manual. In particular, no material may be removed from the hall after beam delivery without proper approval from an Assigned Radiation Monitor (ARM) or from the RadCon Group, as appropriate. No one is allowed in the hall without either being accompanied or informing someone in the Counting House and checking in with that person on a regular basis. This rule applies at all times regardless of the access state of the hall.

During a running experiment the hall will normally be in Beam Permit. When temporary access to the hall is needed the Shift Leader can ask the MCC to bring the hall to Controlled Access. If long term access to the hall is required, the Physics Division Liaison may request the hall be brought to Restricted Access. The transition will be coordinated with the Hall Work Coordinator.

Restricted Access is a state where delivery of beam and/or RF power is not permitted, and entry to and exit from the hall is not controlled by the Personnel Safety System. This is the normal state of the hall when the accelerator is off and no experiments are running. Access is ``restricted'' only in the sense that the hall is not open to the general public. Well-defined procedures (see appendices) are to be followed whenever the hall is brought to and from Restricted Access.

Restricted Access is the period when all major work must be completed in the hall. Consequently, all activities require advanced planning and must be scheduled for resources and safe operation. In order to streamline the activities in the hall and ensure everyone has ready access to the current status and requirements for work, there are two important resources:

• Single point of contact, which is the ``Hall Work Coordinator''
• Information board at the entrance to the hall

All work must be scheduled through the Hall Work Coordinator. The content on the information board is the responsibility of the hall safety wardens and the Hall Work Coordinator. The information board will contain all critical information required for safe entry into the hall. This information will include a succinct, one page safety summary covering the hall's current safety hazards and mitigating measures (to be read by all persons working in the hall), active Operational Safety Procedures (OSPs) and Temporary Operational Safety Procedures (TOSPs), required temporary work permits (e.g., Radiation Work Permits), current activities in the hall, points of contact, and required training and safety equipment.
