2. Why has Argonne adopted ISM?
Argonne's Integrated Safety Management (ISM) program Formal approach to integrate safety into all aspects of the work process in the Lab
Why has Argonne adopted ISM?
ISM program provides an organized process for people to plan, perform, assess and improve the safe conduct of work at all levels.
DOE mandates ISM within our prime contract
ISM provides a framework for compliance with other regulatory requirements
ISM based on seven principles and five core functions

5. Analyzing Hazards Example (Booster Magnet PS) Arc Flash Calculation, Stored Energy Warning
This is an example of how ISM works based on LOTO Procedure for Booster Dipole. Every piece of equipment at the APS is provided with a label containing information based on Arc Flash Calculations -- what hazards present, the Arc Flash Boundaries, PPE required...

8. Unlisted electrical equipment approval program at the APS
By 2005, two independent safety issues obviously grew up:
For almost 15 years of operation APS accumulated hundreds of pieces of equipment facing aging and obsolescence. Some of them did not match with newer standard safety requirements.
With extensive growing of users’ programs, the APS beamlines became flooded with non-standard equipment brought by users for experiments. There was no trained personnel at beamlines to help users to set up non-APS equipment which compromised safe operation.
OSHA requires that electrical equipment must either be listed by an NRTL, or approved by the local AHJ. To meet these requirements ANL initiated an unlisted electrical equipment approval program performed by Designated Electrical Equipment Inspectors (DEEI).

10. DEEI Program – Why we needed it
Same equipment -- modified, inspected and allowed for experiment

11. Designated Electrical Equipment Inspectors (DEEI) Training Program
The training program was initiated in Now we have more than 90 inspectors trained (33 at the APS)
Program included:
Approval by UL
Hazard Classification
Unlisted Equipment Approval
Administrative Controls
Lessons Learned
Practical Electrical Safety including Argonne Tour
NFPA 70E for R&D
Review of Electrical Basics
Codes and Standards
NEC
Code Violations
DOE Handbook
Managing Electrical Hazards
NRTL by OSHA

12. All other electrical equipment requires inspection and inventorying
What Needs Inspection?
Equipment not needing inspection, one or more of the following:
NRTL listed, not modified, and used per mfgr’s instructions
Equipment considered non-hazardous
Prototype (i.e. equipment under construction) equipment for < 3 months
Equipment not being used
All other electrical equipment requires inspection and inventorying

14. Guidelines for Equipment Approval Suitability for installation and Grounding
Some potential considerations of suitability for installation and use are as follows:
Operation, considering environmental conditions
Temperature, humidity, air pressure, radiation, outdoor/indoor, etc.
Normal and abnormal use, considering duty cycle, average and peak power, etc.
Properly sized and installed equipment grounding (chassis grounding)
Equipment design that includes consideration of the available short circuit and ground fault current
Properly sized and installed over-current protection (fuses or circuit breakers)
Separation of high- and low-voltage components, especially where high voltage could escape along a hidden fault path

15. Guidelines for Equipment Approval Mechanical strength and Preventing from Arc Flash
Mechanical strength and durability considerations :
Enclosure should:
Prevent damage to internal components during use and transportation
Contain arching, heating, and explosion
Prevent injury to personnel from hazardous energized parts
Prevent damage to internal components from environmental conditions
Workmanship—unused openings effectively closed
Integrity of electrical equipment and connections
Any item that would adversely affect the safe operation or mechanical strength of the equipment, such as damaged, corroded, or overheated parts

16. Guidelines for Equipment Approval Wiring and Insulation
Wire bending and connection space includes the consideration of assembly and potential repair :
The protection of conductors and their insulation against damage by over-bending, over crowding,
location near moving parts in equipment, and at termination points.
The integrity of insulation ensures that the system:
Prevents the escape/transfer of electrical energy to other conductors and to personnel;
Is free from short circuits or potential short circuits;
Uses listed conductors where possible; and
Is free from grounds other than those required or permitted by National Electrical Code.

17. Guidelines for Equipment Approval Other factors contributing to the practical safeguarding of personnel
• Reviewing non-electrical hazards (X-rays, UV and IR, RF fields, excessive noise ).
• Preventing electric shock, burn, or reflex hazards by eliminating personnel contact with live parts of equipment operating at 50 volts or more.
• Establishing a procedure of energy removal, e.g., disconnection, LOTO, removal of stored energy, for both normal/emergency shutdown.
• Use listed or recognized components where possible.
Consider the loss of electrical power, automatic removal of stored energy, the use of interlocks on enclosures and other systems.
