Safety Matters in the PH Department
Safety Matters in the PH Department Mark Hatch joined CERN in 1984 as an engineer to work on the cooling and ventilating systems for the LEP project. From this time he became involved in safety related work: the design & installation of ventilation systems for smoke control of the experimental caverns, the pressurization systems for
