Accessing SSRL Accelerator Facilities

SSRL Accelerator housings contain equipment having exposed electrical conductors that operate at > 50 volts AC or DC, or at lesser voltages, but higher currents, creating potentially hazardous situations and requiring mitigation in accordance with the Electrical Safety (Chapter 8) of the SLAC ES&H Manual and the SLAC Lock and Tag Program for the Control of Hazardous Energy (SLAC-I-730-0A10Z-001).

The documents below provide:

• Procedures for working in SSRL Accelerator housings, including how and when Lock and Tag shall be applied.
  


• Instructions for routine entry into SSRL Accelerator housings
  


• Orientation to Electrical Hazards in SSRL Accelerator Housings (pre-requisite for unescorted access)
