Title: Development of a guidance document for lightning protection of DOE facilities

Conference ·
OSTI ID:93477

The purpose of this guidance document is to introduce Lighting Hazard Management, a unified approach that combines hazard identification and facility categorization (not discussed in this paper) with a new concept -- the Lighting Safety System. We do not intend to develop a brand new lightning code or standard, but rather reference other codes, standards and guides that we determine to be applicable. Using the graded approach to systematic risk management allows for in-depth protection and aids in ensuring personnel safety and optimizing resource protection.
