[Moller_L2] FW: Permits for elevated work

[James Fast]

MOLLER folks,
I just wanted to share this with the University counterparts of the CAMs.  Given the beamline height of 10 feet this will be applicable to much of our detector installation and servicing work.

Subject: Permits for elevated work
Hello All
Jlab has had 3 elevated work incidents in as many weeks. I am taking this opportunity to call attention to the Chapter 6131 Appendix T4<https://www.jlab.org/ehs/ehsmanual/6131T4.htm> in the ESH manual that requires Fall protection Permits.
The chapter states;
Purpose
A work control document is required to govern the use of active fall protection systems (fall arrest or fall restraint).  Unless work is performed in accordance with an Operational Safety Procedure (OSP) or Temporary Operational Safety Procedure (TOSP), a Fall Protection Permit must be completed and approved to satisfy the work control document requirement.
This appendix provides instruction for completing a Fall Protection Permit<https://jlabdoc.jlab.org/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-211901/6131%20Fall%20Protection%20Permit%2004%2028%2020.docx> to authorize use of active fall protection systems.
    Scope
Jefferson Lab requires fall protection if personnel may fall 4 ft. or more to a lower level, or come into contact with dangerous equipment regardless of fall distance. The Fall Protection Permit may be used, if work is not covered by an OSP or TOSP, as a temporary work control document for application of active fall protection systems.
Fall Protection Permits are applicable only to JLab staff, and are valid for a maximum of 30 calendar days beyond their issue date.
This appendix is written in coordination with ES&H Manual Chapter 6131 Fall Protection Systems<https://www.jlab.org/ehs/ehsmanual/manual/6131.html>.
 Please re/familiarized yourself with the requirements of this chapter and obtain permits for Use of Active Fall Protection as required.
Thanks
Ed
