2 HEALTH & SAFETY The Agency’s position on health and safety is based on the ESA commitment to comply with local labour legislation (RD 01).

of 22

Since the early 1990s, the European Member States have harmonised their legislative requirements for health and safety through the adoption of the “framework directive” by the Council of the European Union. This means that by conforming to the requirements of National legislation, ESA can achieve a broadly harmonised approach to health and safety across the Agency.

2.1 Health

2.1.1 Medical Assistance The ESAC Human Resources Service organises examination and consultation visits for ESA Staff; they are performed by the ESAC Medical Advisor. During this consultation visits, advice, information and preventive measures for ESA staff on mission to potentially dangerous areas can also be provided. Workplace visits can be arranged and take place on an as required basis.

2.1.2 Smoking Smoking is prohibited inside the buildings and at the close vicinity of the buildings’ main entrances.

2.1.3 Alcohol The possession and consumption of alcohol on site is generally prohibited. Exceptions are made for the drinks offered in the canteen, or during approved events organised on site. In such cases, the drinks shall not be brought to the offices or meeting rooms, but consumed in a reasonable quantity, on the spot. Alcohol consumption on site shall not impact the business activities of the centre in any way, or create risks for personnel or property on site. ESA staff and contractors remain liable for their own actions and particularly to Spanish law concerning allowed levels of alcohol when driving.

2.1.4 Drugs The possession and consumption of drugs at ESAC is strictly prohibited.

2.1.5 Pets Pets are not allowed within the premises of ESAC

2.2.2 Evacuation of Buildings The Agency has implemented the procedures necessary to ensure proper and safe evacuation of the buildings. 3 It is highly recommended to add this number to your emergency numbers list.

of 22

All ESAC buildings are equipped with an evacuation alarm system and must be evacuated when the alarm sounds. This applies to every single person present on the premises. The Building Area Evacuation Coordinators (BAEC) are the persons who supervise the evacuation of premises in case of emergencies. Their task is to:

• Ensure that the all persons have left the building (clear their Area of Responsibility) • Proceed to the assembly point and report to the HSSO

Keep escape routes and emergency exits free at all times Check regularly the building evacuation plan closest to your office. Evacuation exercises will be conducted on a yearly basis.

KEEP CALM – DO NOT PANIC – DO NOT TAKE RISKS

On hearing the evacuation alarm you must immediately:

• Leave the office and close the door behind you • Leave the building calmly via the designated escape

routes • Proceed immediately through the designated escape

routes to the ESAC assembly point (see Appendix A) • Inform the BAEC at the assembly point of any specific fact noticed • Do not return to the building unless the BAEC informs you to do so

2.2.3 Vehicles All vehicles, including motorcycles and bicycles are to be parked in the staff and contractors parking area. A special permission should be requested from ESAC Security Office if a person needs to enter the Site with his/her vehicle. Staff and contractors have to make sure that their car is parked properly within the border lines; motorcycles and bicycles shall be parked at the dedicated for this purpose covered parking space near the entrance turnstiles. Visitors have to make sure that they follow directions given by the guards and that their vehicle is parked properly within the border lines in the Visitors’ Parking areas.

2.2.4 Traffic and Safety Precautions The national road traffic regulations together with the special in-house regulations where indicated apply on site.

ESAC speed limit = 20 km per hour

of 22

All ESA staff and contractors must register their vehicle with the ESAC Security Office. The vehicle registration database will be used in case there is a need to contact the owner for specific issues (e.g. remove the vehicle (works on site) or inform about problems (lights still on, open windows, leaks)). ESA staff and contractors should not in general leave their vehicles parked on Site overnight. In exceptional cases (leave, mission, e.t.c) a person is allowed to leave the vehicle on site provided that they have reported to security their reasoning and that they have left the keys of the vehicle at the guards.

2.2.5 Due Care and Attention ESAC is not responsible for the loss of property, in particular for materials, tools and equipment belonging to the ESA staff and contractors. All ESA staff and contractors must keep track of their belongings, tools and equipment and store them in a safe place. All ESA staff and contractors shall ensure that their activities never endanger themselves or anyone else at ESAC or in the vicinity. Contractor companies must ensure that any of their employees engaged in dangerous work have been trained in the use of their tools, fire extinguishers and other safety equipment. The HSSO reserves the right to ask for the relevant certificates to be produced for inspection on reasonable notice and to ascertain that the contractor has complied with the statutory regulations on training for those who are to give first aid.

2.2.6 Accident Reporting The ESAC Security Office (Ext 70 159) and the ESAC Health, Safety & Environment Office (Ext 70 137) have to be informed without delay in case of any accident or incident. The HSSO will lead any relevant accident investigation.

2.2.7 Asbestos In 2006 an ESA wide study was performed by a professional company specialized in the assessment and removal of asbestos. Some areas within ESAC that still contain asbestos are not a source of danger. All areas containing asbestos are marked with a clear sign (see below. In these areas, the following rules apply:

• Do not carry out any mechanical installation work in this area.

• Do not open the false ceiling or the false floor. • Do not drill any holes. • Do not install any kind of visual aids, signs or posters yourself. • For support call the Site Helpdesk (Ext. 99)

of 22

2.2.8 Tools and Protective Clothing Tools and equipment used by ESA staff and contractors must be in good working condition and must be tested in accordance with the applicable regulations. Tools and equipment may only be used for the purpose for which they were originally designed. Specific tools and equipment may only be used by skilled and trained persons. The HSSO may ask to see the relevant test reports at any time. Should the ESA staff or contractors fail to have equipment tested at the proper time, work may be stopped until properly tested equipment is available.

2.2.9 Private Electrical Appliances All private electrical appliances (e.g. boilers, coffee machines) that will be plugged into the site electrical network should be checked and approved by ESAC Maintenance in advance (contact Site helpdesk Ext. 99). The HSSO reserves the right to check, disconnect or disable any private electrical equipment at any time.

2.2.10 Work Permit In order to perform works at ESAC premises, the guidelines described in Appendix C have to be fulfilled. All documentation described in that Appendix, has to be submitted to the Health, Safety and Environmental management Office beforehand.

2.2.10.1 Works with special risks

In case that contractor staff performs a work that is included in Appendix I of the Royal Decree 39/1997 (Ref …), regarding the regulation of the Prevention Services, e.g.;

• Radiation exposure • Toxic or very toxic agents exposure • Use of high risk chemical products • Presence of biological agents • Construction, excavations, earth movements and tunnels, with risk of falling or

burial • High concentration of silicon dust • High tension risks,

this must be communicated to the ESAC Health, Safety & Environmental management Office, before the starting of any activity.

of 22

The company has to prove special compliance to ESAC Health, Safety & Environmental Management Office. This means that the formation of all the contractor staff responsible for prevention must be certified, or the certificate of the legal audit of the company’s own Prevention Service has to be presented. In case that the company chooses to assume the prevention with an external prevention service, they must accredit the validity of the relevant contract.

2.2.10.2 Presence of prevention resources

In cases that the presence of a prevention resource is necessary (see Prevention Law 31/1995, the Royal Decree 604/2006 and the Royal Decree 1627/1997) e.g. ;

• When the risks can be modified or aggravated in the course of a process or activity, as a result of the concurrence of several activities.

• When there are activities with (list not exhaustive): 1. Special risk of falling 2. Burial or subsidence risks 3. Use of machines that haven’t got CE conformity declaration. 4. Work in confined spaces. 5. Risk of drowning.

the staff and the company that they represent must inform the ESAC Health, Safety & Environmental management Office for the prevention resources they plan to employ, identifying the person, and his accreditations (formation, certificates).

2.2.11 Hot Work Permit The term “hot work” is used to define all works related to high temperature generation (e.g. cutting of metals, welding, soldering). No hot work can take place without authorisation. Hot Work Permit (Appendix B) must be obtained at least 24 hours in advance through the ESAC Health, Safety & Environment Office. Additionally, the following tasks require prior authorisation:

• Works which are carried out on weekends or outside normal working hours • All works producing gases, vapours or smoke • Works requiring the deactivation of safety installations (e.g. smoke detectors)

The HSSO and ESAC Security have the right to order work to stop or close down construction sites at any time if construction companies’ employees fail to comply with the applicable rules.

2.2.12 Cleanliness, Order and Waste Disposal All ESA staff and contractors are required to keep their working areas clean and tidy in order to keep the risk of a fire at a minimum.

of 22

Waste disposal should follow the established ESAC procedures; in case of doubt call ESAC site helpdesk (Ext 99). All risks associated with hazardous materials should be notified to the ESAC Site Helpdesk who will arrange for its removal. Oils, greases, chemicals, hazardous materials, washing water, waste water and other soil pollutant materials must be disposed off following the environmental regulations. Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials must not be stored on ESAC premises without the prior authorisation of the HSSO. The HSSO reserves the right to refuse or revoke such requests if safety requirements are not met.

of 22

3 SECURITY

3.1 Badges and Checks All ESA Staff and contractors require an ESA ID badge to enter ESAC.

All personnel must apply for an ID badge via HR (ESA staff) or the responsible Technical Officer (ESAC contractors). The ESA ID badge must be worn visibly at all times while on an ESA site. Security will perform spot checks to ensure that badges are worn and are visible. Each badge contains personal access rights which are valid only for the person to whom it is issued. It is non-transferable. Lost badges shall be reported to ESAC Security Office without delay, even in case of doubt, since cards can be disabled and re-enabled very quickly. Every person entering and leaving ESA premises must badge in and badge out. Security might ask visitors to produce an identity document at any time, at the request of the HSSO. Security may randomly inspect vehicles entering or leaving ESAC, at the request of the HSSO.

3.2 Working Hours & Access to Site Normal working hours are between 07.30 and 19.30, Monday to Friday. Suppliers / couriers delivering parcels to ESAC will only be admitted during the “Good Inwards” working hours (09:00 to 17:00). Delivery of food and beverage to the Canteen will only be admitted between 08:00 and 12:00.

of 22

The main gate of ESAC will be closing daily (Monday to Friday) at 19:30 hrs and it will remain closed during the Weekends and ESA holidays. The ESA staff and contractors parking gate will be closed from 22:30 until 06:30 and during Weekends or ESA holidays. ESA staff and contractors wishing to leave or enter the parking area during this time will have to contact ESAC Security or the Gate house (through the interphones installed) and state the reason for visiting.

3.3 Damage to Property Any damage to employee or to third party property must be reported without delay to ESAC Security Office (Ext 70 159).

3.4 Visitors All ESA Staff and ESAC Contractors may receive visitors during normal working hours; as a rule, visitors should have left the site before 19:30 hrs. In exceptional cases, an authorization has to be requested in advance to the ESAC Security Office. Visitors need to register at the main gate and will receive a Visitor Badge. Every visitor needs to present a valid identification (National ID, Passport or Driving License with a standard photo) and to name a contact person on site (sponsor) who will be called upon arrival to confirm the visit; the visitor will not be allowed to enter the Site until its sponsor is contacted. For professional visits of large groups (e.g. more than 15 people), the sponsor is requested to provide the ESAC Security Office with a full list of the names and ID card numbers in advance. A private visit may include up to four visitors; exceptions to the rule are to be approved by the ESAC Security Office. Visitors’ sponsors have to ensure that the visitor has left the site before they do so. Visits are not allowed during weekends, public holidays or outside normal working hours, unless prior authorisation is granted by the ESAC Security Office.

3.5 Golden Badge Holders The ESAC pensioners may request a Golden badge in order to access ESAC whenever they wish to do so without the need to present an ID and sponsor. They are not entitled to invite any visitor, unless a request has been made to the ESAC Security Office.

of 22

3.6 Security Zones The cornerstone in the application of physical security is the protection provided by a number of concentric security thresholds which increase the level of protection in relation to the value or sensitivity of the assets to be protected. For this purpose, security zones have been defined. The term security zone can apply to areas or individual rooms/offices.

3.6.1 Zone 1

• Low sensitivity • Common accessible areas for all ID badge holders (visitors included) • Examples are reception, canteen, sport facilities, conference rooms

3.6.2 Zone 2

• Mainly used for administrative purposes • Basic security measures • Examples are common / normal staff office and meeting rooms

3.6.3 Zone 3

• High sensitivity • Areas containing sensitive equipment, information, or activities • Security measures (control access, electronic locks, cameras, MDS,

guard patrols) • Examples are programme coordination rooms, IT and cabling rooms,

test centres, technical areas, specific project premises

3.7 Keys In general, keys are not handed to ESA Staff and Contractors. In exceptional cases and when there is a sound reason for locking an office, keys will be provided through the ESAC Security Office after approval of the HSSO.

3.8 Reporting Loss or Damage and Defects Any loss or damage suffered or caused by ESA staff, contractors or visitors must be reported to ESAC Security Office (Ext 70 159) without delay.

3.9 CCTV All office buildings and accesses to the Site, are equipped with CCTV. Within the office space the system is operational only during non working hours (19:30 to 07:30). Collected video material is being handled according to the local

of 22

Legislation. The data is controlled by the ESAC Security Office, for security purposes only.

3.10 Alarms Many areas at ESAC are secured with alarm systems. This includes all the areas and rooms covered by the Access Control System (badge readers). If these doors stay open for longer than a specified period of time (generally between 1 and 2 minutes) an alarm sounds at the main gate. Security shall be contacted before any of the alarm secured doors are left open for an extended period.

Do not open secured doors from inside to let people in!

Authorised persons have appropriate access rights!
