HALL D SAFETY AND TRAINING

The Lab Status

For the MEDCON details see JLab COVID-19 information portal
The current MEDCON4 conditions and restrictions are outlined in the Director's message from Jun 7, 2021. The MEDCON4 conditions will stay until further notice.
General restrictions at different MEDCON levels
Newer restrictions: all personnel (vaccinated or not) should wear masks inside buildings
Depending on the local rate of infections and administration decisions new restrictions may be implemented
In general, access to the Lab is limited. Staff is allowed to come to do work which can not be done remotely. Access for users depends on the mode of operation:

SAD (Scheduled Accelerator Shutdown)
Only users from a list approved by AD are allowed on site.
A detailed plan for work on site during SAD as well as the proper documentation are available at the engineering page. A new logbook HDSAD is serving for the SAD work organization and reports. The technical staff coordinates their activities at a daily 06:00 meeting. The scientific staff and users should send requests for Hall D/Counting house/Tagger access to HDSAD a day before the intended access. The work progress is discussed weekly at a special meeting.
Beam operations
For taking shifts and for taking the relevant training users should register their visits at this regular site. No additional approval is required. The training requirements are outlined below

2021 Summer-Fall: Requirements for people working in the Hall D complex

Training and procedures related to the current MEDCON condition:

General COVID-19 training SAF003 and SAF003KD - see the regular training page
OSP COVID19 pandemic controls (seen from inside of the Lab's firewall). One has to read the OSP and the general checklist (a part of the OSP document). The OSP and the checklist have to be signed upon arrival to the counting house.
Before each visit to the Lab one has to do COVID-19 Daily Self Certification.
The first visit to the counting house has to be coordinated with Work Coordinator, or Run Coordinator, or Hall Leader. The arriving person will receive oral instructions on the Hall D - related procedures (see item 3), and sign the OSP and the checklist.

Training required for Unescorted Entrance to Hall D / Tagger

Basic WEB-based training available at the regular training page

SAF100: ES&H Orientation
SAF103: Oxygen Deficiency Hazards
SAF801C: Radiation Worker Initial Training
SAF801P: Radiation Worker Practicum (taken once)

SAF801KD: General Access RWP
SAF113: Hall D Safety Awareness, includes a walkthrough. The walkthrough training in Hall D does not expire. Organized walkthroughs will be announced on the "halld@jlab.org" mailing list. Typically, not more than 5 persons can be served at a time. To inquire about walkthroughs contact the Hall D Work Coordinator (Mark Stevens) or Mark Dalton.
The current prerequisites to walkthroughs are:

the person should be fully vaccinated
SAF103 - ODH training
Individual dosimeters (obtained after finishing the Rad. Worker training)

Training required for shift Workers and personnel testing detectors in Hall D

Due to a volatile MEDCON situation and different rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated people, shift taking and work in the hall may be limited to fully vaccinated people!
In addition to the general "Unescorted Entrance" training the shift workers are required to take a specific training. For each running period or a specific experiment a set of safety-related documents is prepared. Verification of reading and understanding these documents is documented by signing the sheet located in a "yellow binder" of the experiment specific documents. These binders can be found in the Hall D counting house and in the MCC.
