Safety Systems Group at Jefferson Lab
The Safety Systems Group (SSG) provides the Personnel Safety Systems (PSS) and the Machine Protection Systems (MPS) on the accelerator site. Other areas protected by a PSS include the Vertical Test Area (VTA), the Injector Test Stand (ITS), and the Cryomodule Test Facility (CMTF).
Where necessary, monitoring systems are installed in the areas to mitigate oxygen deficiency hazards (ODH).
The group is involved in research in the use of programmable electronics for safety applications. It's expertise extends to risk and reliability analysis, fail safe design, programming techniques, and development of standards and practices.
