**INDUSTRIAL SAFETY & HEALTH (ISH)**

**OBJECTIVE**

**ISH.1** A comprehensive industrial safety & health program has been
implemented to address applicable safety requirements at the TA 55 SST
Facility. ***(Core Requirements 1, 3, and 4)***

**Criteria**

-   Procedures are implemented to address applicable industrial & health
    safety issues.

-   An adequate number of trained personnel are available to support SST
    facility regarding industrial safety & health concerns.

-   Portable fire extinguishers are appropriate for the class of fire
    they are expected to fight and are located within the proper
    distance.

-   Cranes, hooks, slings, and other rigging are plainly marked as to
    their capacity and inspected prior to use.

-   Forklifts and other powered lifting devices are adequately
    inspected.

-   Operators of cranes and other lifting devices are trained,
    qualified, and certified on the

-   equipment and for the particular size lift.

-   Electrical equipment is enclosed and labeled as to its
    hazard/rating.

-   Electrical equipment is labeled/listed by a nationally recognized
    testing laboratory.

-   Electrical power to equipment (i.e., branch circuits) and grounding
    are inspected and approved by an appropriate electrical inspector,
    or by approved engineering drawings describe all aspects of the
    work.

-   Lock-tagout procedures are implemented to protect personnel and
    equipment.

-   The PPE used for protecting the head, eyes, hands, and feet is
    appropriate for the operation, considering the materials, voltages,
    etc., involved.

-   The program is staffed by a sufficient number of qualified personnel
    who are provided with the necessary facilities and equipment.

-   

**Approach**

Record reviews: Industrial safety & health program requirements, hazard
communication

procedures and other applicable ISH procedures.

Personnel Interviews: Interview workers to determine understanding of
hazards and controls and observe work practices during evolution.

Performance Demonstrations: Observe safety practices during evolution.

**OBJECTIVE**

**ISH.2** Implementation of the industrial safety & health program at
the TA-55 SST Facility is adequate to address toxic chemical hazards,
noise exposure, electromagnetic fields, lasers, etc. ***(CoreRequirement
1)***

**Criteria**

-   Operators and support personnel are trained and qualified to work
    with hazardous materials expected to be encountered in the TA-55 SST
    Facility.

-   The hazardous materials to be used in the facility have been
    assessed and appropriate special procedures are established (e.g.
    silica exposure, air monitoring or medical surveillance) for initial
    operations.

-   The PPE used for protecting eyes, hands etc., is appropriate for the
    materials to be encountered.

-   The program is staffed by a sufficient number of qualified personnel
    who are provided with the necessary facilities and equipment.

-   A procedure is in place for monitoring silica exposure.

-   An approved program exists for noise abatement.

-   

**Approach**

**Record Reviews:** Review procedures for discussions of hazardous
material handling and disposal, PPE requirements, and prerequisites for
worker qualification.

**Review worker** qualification cards and training materials. Check area
for appropriate postings, etc.

**Personnel Interviews**: Interview workers to determine qualifications
and understanding of hazards.

**Performance Demonstrations:** Observe conduct of evolutions and drills
to observe use of PPE.
