And there are acts of nature that can seriously affect data center operations, such as solar flares, major fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and lightning strikes. Data centers are also increasing in size in many parts of the world; magnifying these risks. Add on a skilled labor shortage and a longer work week and you have a recipe for potential disaster. Accidents Due to Human Error Electrician Brandon Schroeder travels the country talking to businesses, including data center crews. He shares his near-death experience as an electrician—the day he […]
チェックリスト：データセンターの安全性の8つの主要コンポーネント
The data center is a high-risk environment requiring highly trained personnel. A smart data center safety plan is great to have . . . but useless if it’s not properly implemented. Thus, the untrained or poorly trained engineer is kryptonite for data center safety; any safety culture is only as strong as your weakest link. We spoke with Walter Leclerc, Director, Environmental Occupational Health and Safety with Digital Realty. He speaks all over the country on this topic, so we asked him to update his main areas of focus for us. They can be summarized into eight categories: risk assessment, equipment-specific lockout/tagout procedures, electrical work, working at height, hot work, […]
