1.2.4.3 Facility Safety


NASA programs and projects make use of all types of facilities for testing, manufacturing, processing, special use, etc. Such programs utilize existing facilities, and may also involve the acquisition and construction of new facilities. This section addresses safety issues for facility acquisition, construction, and activation.
 
Guiding documents for NASA Facility Safety:
  1. NASA-STD-8719.7, Facilities System Safety Guidebook: This NASA Technical Standard (NTS) provides a guideline for NASA facility and safety professionals who are involved with the facility acquisition or modification/construction process and life cycle phases at NASA installations. This document provides fundamental information for the development of a facility safety program during the acquisition process and the framework for implementing facility system safety goals and requirements into NASA facilities.
  2. Chapter 8 (Facility Safety) of NPG 8715.3, NASA Safety Manual w/Change 2: This chapter establishes safety procedures and guidelines to enhance the safety and mission success aspect of NASA's facility acquisition, construction, and activation process. This chapter is guidance to the responsible NASA Center program/project management, contracting office, safety assurance, and fire protection organization personnel who implement the safety programs essential to meeting each facility acquisition and construction work package effort in accordance with NPG 8820.2, Facility Project Implementation Handbook.
  3. NPG 8820.2C: The Facility Project Implementation Handbook (FPIH) provides a ready reference to pertinent policy and guidance for management of facility planning, budgeting, design, construction, and activation. This Handbook covers the aspects of a facility project to the Facility Project Manager (FPM) from the initial statement of the facility requirements to the final facility activation.
