Hazard Analysis |

1.0
Purpose
Jefferson
Lab has unique, difficult-to-replace, facilities and apparatus. Fire damage
could cause severe operational disruption. Accordingly, Jefferson Lab conducts
a rigorous Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) of mission-essential areas. The FHA
establishes a baseline of fire-safety information for a structure. Continuing
engineering assessments keep the FHA valid.
FHAs are
conducted to satisfy the requirements of Department
of Energy (DOE) Order 420.1C.
2.0
Scope
This document
provides guidelines on how to conduct and maintain an FHA. Additional
requirements and standards are described in DOE IG 420.1-3. Refer to the FHA
of Accelerator End Station to review most recent findings.
3.0
Responsibilities
Note: Management authority may be delegated to a
task-qualified TJNAF employee at the discretion of the responsible manager.
Fire
Marshal:
may use subcontracted professional
engineering services to accomplish and update FHAs according to DOE IG 420.1-3.
4.0
Expectations
According to DOE Order 420.1C,
FHAs must be:
·
performed under the direction of a
qualified fire protection engineer
·
reviewed every three
years
·
revised when
o a modification to an associated facility or process adds a
significantly new fire safety risk
o the three-year review identifies the need for changes
5.0
Guidelines
The following elements
and conservative assessments are included in the FHA.
· description
of:
o construction
o critical
process equipment
o high-value
property
o fire
hazards
o operations
· potential
for a toxic, biological and/or radiological incident due to fire
· natural
hazard (earthquake, flood, wind, lightning, and wildland fire) impact on fire
safety
· damage
potential (Maximum Possible Fire Loss [MPFL] as defined
in DOE-STD-1066-2012)
· fire
protection features
· life
safety considerations
· emergency
planning
· fire
department response
· recovery
potential
· security
and safeguards considerations related to fire protection
· exposure
fire potential and the potential for fire spread between two fire areas
· effect
of significant fire safety deficiencies on fire risk
· environmental
impacts from a fire including suppression system run-off considerations.
Refer to DOE IG
420.1-3 for additional requirements.
The scope and
content of an FHA is limited to elements that are significant and relevant to
the facility. Findings are documented in a draft report.
