Access safety equipment

Access to cell rooms is usually restricted to authori2ed personnel. Required personal safety equipment includes mbber shoes or overshoes, goggles, hard hat, and some sort of emergency respirator. Safety training courses are generally required before one is allowed to enter a cell house without a guide. 

Whether floor space is a major factor in the design of a particular plant depends on the value of land near the proposed site. The engineer should, however, allot floor space economically, consistent with good housekeeping in the plant and should be sure to consider line flow of materials, access to equipment, space to permit working on parts of equipment that need frequent servicing, and the safety and comfort of the operators. 

The laboratory should be equipped with a conveniently accessible safety shower and an eyewash fountain there should be more than one of each in a large laboratory. Increasingly, the fixed type of eyewash fountain is being superseded by a spray nozzle at the end of an extensible hose there should be one of these on each laboratory bench. In lieu of such devices—or in addition to them—2- or 3-ft lengths of rubber hose (not small-bore pressure tubing) attached with wire or clamps to water faucets are certainly better than nothing. 

Know the exact location and proper operation of safety equipment, including eyewash station, safety shower, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fume hoods, first aid kit, etc. Check frequently to make sure that there is nothing obstructing access to safety equipment. 

The storage bunker should be totally enclosed and constructed of mild steel or concrete. Cylindrical section bunkers with discharge cone angles of not less than 60° to the horizontal, or rectangular section bunkers with valley angles not less than 55° to the horizontal are satisfactory. The bunker should be fitted with the usual access and safety equipment. A filtered vent may be appropriate in some situations. 

Equipment Maintenance Whenever possible, any maintenance of equipment should be accomplished from the outside using the access or cleanout doors. If the equipment must be entered, the tank or container must first be thoroughly checked to ensure that all solvent has been removed from the equipment and the solvent vapors have been eliminated. No person should enter a degreaser without proper safety equipment and attended by another person, similarly equipped, outside the degreaser. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE ELEMENTARY RULES HAS BEEN THE DIRECT CAUSE OF MOST OF THE INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THESE SOLVENTS. See ASTM Practices for Confined Area Entry (D 4276). 

Safety equipment, including spill control kits, safety shields, fire safety equipment, respirators, safety showers and eyewash fountains, and emergency equipment should be available in well-marked, highly visible locations in all chemical laboratories. Fire alarm pull stations and telephones with emragency telephone numbCTs clearly indicated must be readily accessible. In addition to the standard items, thwe may also be a need for other safety devices. It is the responsibility of the laboratory supervisor to ensure proper training and provide supplementary equipment as needed. 

Except for some particular process pecularity, the best arrangement is not always the most direct method. All equipment is subject to some kind of maintenance, inspection, and cleaning it must therefore be accessible. Safety may demand certain equipment be located at a specific location. 

These monitors cover areas containing equipment important to safety which may require personnel access after an accident. Locations of the monitors in the Nuclear Annex and Reactor Subsphere are determined based on post-accident shielding analysis and safety equipment access requirements. These monitors meet the requirements for Regulatory Guide 1.97 Category 3 instrumentation. 

Since the RMS includes (a) a portable airborne iodine monitor, (b) continuous post accident gaseous effluent monitoring for noble gases, iodine and particulates, (c) containment high radiation monitors, (d) radiation monitors for areas requiring post-accident access to safety equipment, and (e) control room readouts and annunciation, this issue is resolved for the System 80+ Standard Design. 

Safety precautions include adequate ventilation of working areas, a readily accessible safety shower, and eye bath facilities located in areas not likely to become contaminated. Rubber or plastic aprons and gloves should be used as protective clothing with wool or other hydrochloric acid resistant outer garments and chemical safety goggles. Other important precautions include the availability of proper full-face respirators or SCBAs, and personnel s thorough familiarity with safety measures and equipment operation. Should eye contact, skin contact, or inhalation occur, inunediately give first aid and call a physician. 

The final step in the plot plan arrangement is to space equipment and supporting facilities for operator and maintenance access, safety, piping flexibility and support, and platforming requirements. At this stage, the layout designer must rely on experience because the final information is not available for calculating... 

Good housekeeping will also maintain ready availability to safety equipment and first aid materials. Cluttered lab spaces may impede their access and use.

General requirements for safe access and equipment can be found in the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the more detailed requirements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 or the Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. 

Tour of research area. Cover the special hazards found in the laboratories, procedures for gaining access to restricted areas, if any, and locations of safety equipment. 

Carry out spill-control plan. You have anticipated that a spill can occur and have the proper safety equipment on hand. Your preparations included having access to the material safety data sheets (MSDS) describing the hazards of the substance, control methods, and personnel protection requirements. 

The LASS acts on Items Important to Safety (IIS), which are either IIS Access or equipment suitable for the LHC accelerator called IIS Beams and IIS Machine, depending on the mode of operation of the LHC Access mode or Beam mode. 

Access to equipment in systems important to safety should be appropriately limited, in view of the need to prevent both unauthorized access and the possibiUty of error by authorized personnel. Effective methods include appropriate combinations of physical security (locked enclosures, locked rooms, alarms on panel doors) and administrative measures according to the degree of supervision in the area where the equipment is located. 

In situ pretreatment methods are limited due to a restricted accessibility to equipment because it is often not possible, too expensive, or too harmful to install complex technical devices and additionally necessary safety equipment. 

It obvious a today s demand on repetitive inspections to predict the safety of pressure equipments during the oncoming service period. The acceptance from the industry for this kind of testing is accessible, if you can fulfil this requirement an enlarge in this way the competitiveness.
