Abstract

The talk will describe in detail the organisation of electrical safety at CERN. It is interesting to list what is included in Electrical Safety, e.g. operational procedures, intervention procedures, electromagnetic compatibility requirements, fire protection, material limitations. Examples of electrical installations and corresponding rules in the forthcoming LHC-tunnel will be given. The risk management, in particular the risk sharing between contractors and laboratory will be explained citing the corresponding European rules and their CERN amendments. Finally the talk will give an outline of how CERN deals with non-conforming research apparatus with inherent risks, such as a physics detector in an experiment featuring confined space, flammable gas, high voltage and hazardous materials.
