Each shift is led by a Shift Leader. The selection of shift leaders
is the responsibility of the Run Coordinator and Physics Division Liaison.
The Shift Leader has the following responsibilities:
to carry out the scientific program planned for the shift in a safe
and efficient manner.
to ensure that the logbook contains a complete and accurate
description of the events and actions which occurred during the shift.
to serve as primary contact between the machine control center (MCC) and
experiment personnel.
to ensure that the shift crew acts responsibility.
to oversee that hall equipment is operated properly.
to ensure the shift checklist is performed every eight hours on operating
shifts.
to ensure that equipment malfunctions are properly labeled and
locked-out if necessary and to communicate this to shift personnel and
subsystem experts.
to note in the logbook when workers from outside groups (such as survey
and alignment) stop by the counting house before entering the hall when in
Controlled Access. Furthermore, to verify that these workers have communicated
with the Run Coordinator and the Hall Work Coordinator.
to coordinate the response of the shift crew to
emergency situations, including the notification of appropriate individuals as
outlined in the JLab Emergency Response Plan.
to ensure that in any emergency situation the
experiment Physics Division Liaison, Run Coordinator, and Hall Leader
are notified in a timely manner.
to notify the Run Coordinator, if the hall is down due to equipment
failure for more than four hours.
The Shift Leader has the following authority:
to assign tasks to the shift members as needed.
to request that the state of the hall be changed from Beam Permit or
Restricted Access to Controlled Access (Request for a change to Restricted
Access must be approved by the Physics Division Liaison.)
to limit the number of people in the Counting House or hall
if required to effectively and safely carry out the experiment.
to limit access to hall on-line computers if required to
effectively and safely carry out the experiment.
to authorize qualified personnel to make modifications in the experiment
configuration within the allowed parameters.
