Project Safety Management Tool Install By: Tom Osteen, CSP Benchmark Consulting Group, LLC

Tool Install Management Tool installations can consistently be completed in a safe and timely manner when a good plan is developed and utilized. Pre-job Contractor Meetings Types of Tool Installs Common ESH Issues Associated With Tool Installs Planning for the Install ESH Care-abouts     

Pre-Job Contractor Meetings The first step, after the contractor has been pre- qualified and selected, is to lay out the project expectations. Key communications are as follows: Existing facility hazards ESH and project expectations Necessary submittals Qualification of personnel Chemical list requirements Work Permit Process      

Types of Tool Installs The second step is to understand the potential issues associated with each type of tool install activity. Several major install categories are: New build-out Retrofitting existing equipment

Types of Tool Installs New build-out: There are ESH issues associated with each tool install phase: Design Lay-out Tool move-ins Installs Energize     

Types of Tool Installs Equipment retrofitting: There are unique ESH issues associated with retrofit activities. Design Sequencing of demo Planning for decontamination procedures Waste disposal Process tie-in’s     

Retrofit It has been said that doing a major tool retrofit project in a operational manufacturing fab is “a little like doing a heart and lung transplant on a patient while he is running a marathon”

Common ESH Issues Associated With Tool Installs Chemical exposure Decontamination of tools and equipment Risk of Interruptions Fall Protection Issues Energized electrical Issues Extension Cord Issues

Planning for the Install Design of tools and their accoutrements: Fall protection or access (Implanters) Doors into areas (confined space issues) Material storage areas Sequencing Electrical panels and when energized First start-up tools on common panels Waste drain tie-ins     

Other Planning issues Training Badging Construction access Life Safety Tech to help with alarm issues Space Management Lock-out/Tag-out Procedures for controlling laterals and panels

Planning Issues (Continued) Dedicated electrical outlets Chemical approval process Marked exit corridors in the subfab Ladder Storage Plan
