Following morning remarks by Foundry Director, Kristin Perrson, members of Berkeley Lab and Facilities leadership, and Foundry Facilities and EHS Manager Michael Wisherop, the Foundry’s staff and users participated in open house activities led by Berkeley Lab’s EHS and facilities staff to learn about safety measures in other facilities at the Foundry and Berkeley Lab.
The open house sessions included demonstrations about cryogen exposure, discussions about emergency preparedness, and tours of the lab pressure system and ‘behind the scenes’ spaces like the roof and water purification system. These sessions created opportunities for users and staff to share EH&S practices and ideas.
To end the day, IDEA Committee Chair, Rohan Dahll, led staff and users in safety reflection exercises which examined current practices at the Foundry and created discussion about what improvements could be made.
