6410 Appendix T1:

Laser Requisitioning and Purchasing Requirements

 

1.0             Purpose

Requisitioning and purchasing protocols have been established to ensure that only approved lasers and associated equipment are used on, for, and around laser systems. This appendix describes how to request these materials so the appropriate approvals are obtained prior to the purchase is made and subsequent assembly, inspection, and/or use. 

2.0             Scope

The contents of this appendix do not apply to lasers brought on-site under the process of an experimental review conducted via Chapter 3120, The CEBAF Experiment Review Process or Chapter 3130, The Accelerator Experiment Review Process. These chapters should be used as resources for information regarding review and approval of lasers and systems to be used during the performance of an experiment.

 

This document only refers to the use of TJNAFs approved Maximo Requisition System. If you wish to use a Jefferson Lab P-Card to purchase laser tools and equipment the laser safety officer must pre-authorize the purchase. Unauthorized items purchased on a P-Card are subject to disciplinary action in accordance with TJNAFs Administrative Manual – 501 Procurement Policy.

3.0             Responsibilities

Note:   Management authority may be delegated to a task-qualified employee at the discretion of the responsible manager.

·         use account code 043-015: Laser Tools & Equip to purchase lasers and associated equipment (e.g., laser control devices such as windows, curtains, and enclosure material)

·         perform all the steps outlined in 4.0, Procedure, unless otherwise stated

3.2              Division Safety Officer enforces proper procurement procedures for lasers in your division.

3.3              Procurement ensures requisitioned lasers and equipment are approved by the LSO.

3.4              Laser Safety Officer (LSO)

·         use account code 043-015: Laser Tools & Equip to purchase specialized PPE to be used with lasers

·         upon receipt, inspect PPE, and if acceptable, distribute to the requisitioner

·         perform an ES&H Review (see below) on all lasers and equipment purchase requests

·         approve acceptable procurement requests

4.0             Procedure

Laser Requisitioner performs all the steps outlined below unless otherwise stated.

 

4.1              Laser and/or Equipment Requisition

4.1.1        Perform a Task Hazard Analysis (THA) for a new or significantly changed laser requirement in accordance with Chapter 3210, Work Planning, Control, and Authorization Process to determine its impact before purchase.

4.2              ES&H Review actions are performed by the LSO

Approval of the requisition is based on need. Only when all requirements are satisfied is the requisition approved. The following actions are required for the ES&H review:

·         review of the hazard classification of the laser

·         ensure that appropriate controls can/will be implemented

·         ensure the work area(s) is adequate to ensure safety during work

4.3              Lasers Obtained Outside of the Procurement Process

Jefferson Science Associates does not approve of lasers being obtained outside its procurement process; however, it does recognize that this may happen. If a laser is “home-built” or obtained from “outside,” no matter what the source, notify the LSO and request an ES&H Review (described in 4.2 above).
