3.4.1 Facilities

a) Shops, Satellite Work Areas, and Office Areas

The layout of shops, satellite work areas, and office areas should be designed

with a high priority on individual and industrial safety and efficiency.

Modifications throughout the life of the facility should ensure personnel safety

and efficiency remain foremost considerations.

Environmental conditions often have a significant impact on personnel

performance. Location and type of work performed should be considered in

determining the types and level of environmental controls and services to be

included in each maintenance area. Supervisors need to be responsive to

maintaining work-place environmental controls conducive to increased

maintenance quality and work efficiency. Examples of some environmental

controls and services include the following:

equipment/furniture space considerations

adequate lighting

facility service and instrument air

electric power supplies

demineralized water

temperature, humidity, and dust control

fume removal

hazardous chemical and solvent storage and disposal

noise control

Each area should have storage facilities which are convenient and which

encourage personnel to maintain good housekeeping. Shelves, cabinets,

lockers, toolboxes, job staging and laydown areas are examples of storage

facilities that may be provided for items such as tools, parts, reference

materials, and personal items. Facilities also should be provided for ALARA

when working on contaminated components and equipment.
