SAC - FAIR Safety Advisory Committee

The mandate of the SAC is to support the GSI/FAIR teams:

  • during the short-term transition period from a construction site to an installation site and the subsequent commissioning of the FAIR accelerator and experimental systems
  • and at the same time during the long-term development of the future relationship between the FAIR project and GSI on the subject of operational and safety-related processes and structures.

The role of the committee is to support the GSI and FAIR colleagues in their analysis and development of Safety for the FAIR project:

  • Identification of the safety needs of FAIR during the above phases.
  • Development of an adequate organisation structure to support the required safety processes.
  • Development and consolidation of a safety culture.
  • Specific aspects and challenges as they may arise in terms of environment, health and safety.
  • Aspects related to governmental bodies and related approval processes.
  • Measures for incident prevention, correction and preparedness.
