Security
precautibns
and safeguards
Existing practices of building security should be extended and improved to
provide adequate protection for the equipment.
Safeguards such as tamperproof keylock door controls and electrically taped
glass doors and windows can be tied into an alarm system. A monitoring
unit using closed-circuit television can also be installed.
Protect critical data such as business records or other information by storing
backups well away from the equipment room. A regular updating program
is highly recommended.
Safety procedures and training
Company personnel should be taught how to respond to emergencies. Some
companies designate such individuals as security members. Training could
include how and when to evacuate personnel and records, to notify the fire
department, to shut off all electrical power, and to properly handle fire
extinguishers.
In addition to training, temperature and humidity monitoring devices (both
visual and audible alarm signals) should be installed in the equipment and
storage rooms so that individuals can respond quickly to an emergency.
Occupational noise exposure
When employees are subjected to noise levels exceeding those listed in
1910.5 of the OSHA Standards, or local standards internationally,
administrative and engineering controls should be initiated. If these
controls fail to reduce sound levels effectively, protective equipment should
be provided. The acoustic noise generated by an SL-1 UEM column should
not exceed 6OdBA (decibels “A”-weighted). Depending on the ambient
external temperature, the acoustic noise could be as low as 45 dBA.
