He speaks all over the country on this topic, so we asked him to update his main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenterknowledge.com\/industry-perspectives\/six-golden-safety-rules-data-centers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">areas of focus<\/a> for us. They can be summarized into eight categories: risk assessment, equipment-specific lockout\/tagout procedures, electrical work, working at height, hot work, lifting and handling, sensor technology and digitalization, and contractor management. \u201cWhen focusing on safety in a data center, in my experience, all eight of these components are the focus areas,\u201d says Leclerc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The efficient and smart approach to data center safety guidelines is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Research and identify hazards\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Audit systems, policies, processes, and procedures<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Implement improvements (with appropriate buy-in from leadership)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, we\u2019ve put together a checklist on how to do that via the eight primary focus areas identified by Leclerc. We\u2019ll also touch upon social distancing and other safety-related aspects of the pandemic affecting data centers all over the world, and how to respond appropriately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1: Perform a Comprehensive Risk Assessment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check all of the following before any job by performing a standard data center safety risk assessment:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify the risks and hazards of the job<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliminate or mitigate the risks by implementing controls<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obtain the appropriate permits<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21385 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/serverlift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Decibel-level-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/serverlift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Decibel-level-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/serverlift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Decibel-level-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/serverlift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Decibel-level-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/serverlift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Decibel-level-1536x971.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/serverlift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Decibel-level-2048x1294.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Follow all safety policies and procedures<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training, training, and more training<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf a worker finds any safety gaps before starting a job, they must mitigate or eliminate those gaps before moving forward,\u201d says Leclerc. \u201cIt is a clich\u00e9, but workers do need to look at it from a continuous improvement cycle perspective. It needs to be in play (plan-do-check-act), and it needs to be active and working to make the work environment safe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2: Review Equipment-Specific Lockout\/Tagout Procedures<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper lockout and tagout procedures entail the development of an energy control program that maintains employee safety. During use, equipment must either be locked out (turned off or de-energized so that electrical hazards are mitigated) or tagged out (marked for avoidance in a manner equivalent to lockout procedures) or when allowed, comply with additional energy control provisions in OSHA\u2019s standards.

getting to work<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#6: Enforce Safe Lifting and Handling<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to implement a successful lifting and handling safety plan is by sticking firm to the 50-pound manual lifting limitation, and supplying staff with the proper tools for lifting heavier servers and other hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing weighing more than 50 pounds should be lifted manually<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li

center lift<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teach proper lifting techniques for use with and without assistive devices<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implement mechanized lifting systems whenever necessary<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#7: Embrace Sensor Technology and Digitalization<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a smart, responsive data center is the way of the future, according to Leclerc: \u201cIt&#8217;s about giving operators real-time information to understand their work environment.\u201d Further, human error is minimized and data centers can operate with a smaller staff.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21388 alignright\"

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology is being developed or already exists to do the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitor noise levels remotely in real-time. \u201cEmployees can know if a generator room exceeds recommended decibel levels before they enter,\u201d explains Leclerc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitor energized systems with devices such as absence of voltage testers (AVTs)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digitally monitor water usage using ultrasonic flow meters<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some companies use predictive analytics to prevent injuries from occurring, as well as reduce unplanned downtime of IT equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, new technology is evolving across industries to check AEDs using remote monitoring sensors (RMS) for constant functionality issues which eliminates the need for onsite monthly inspections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#8: Contractor Management<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any data center operator using vendors or contractors to do work must ask if the people they\u2019re bringing in are qualified to be there. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data centers should require their service providers to conduct structured safety training before allowing them on the data center floor,\u201d says Leclerc.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Match vendor and service provider safety protocols to those of your data center<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post clear and visible safety signage throughout your facilities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data Center Safety Protocols Shifting with the Pandemic<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social distancing and COVID-19, while top of mind, do not change proper safety protocols to any particular degree, in Leclerc\u2019s opinion. \u201cThe data center is naturally a controlled environment, so we have built-in social distancing.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leclerc\u2019s teams have made a few smart changes. \u201cWe\u2019re doing a few things. We stagger our shifts to minimize the risk of cross-contamination among our teams. We\u2019re doing extra cleaning and looking at filtering technology to ensure we are using the best available technology to keep our HVAC systems clean. We have also strengthened our lone worker policies and procedures, and our engineers are disinfecting their equipment at the end of every shift.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social distancing occurs naturally in a well-prepared data center environment that provides employees with the right tools. An empowered worker is going to have the safest and most productive experience dealing with all of these scenarios. \u201cI think an undercurrent of a lot of this is that an empowered data center employee is now able to optimally protect themselves,\u201d says Leclerc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially true when staffing levels are reduced or staggered, remote work is on the rise, and data center employees are entrusted with regular solo work. \u201cThe future is going to be more individual work, so we need to empower our team. We need to give them the resources and tools they need to effectively perform their jobs, and we need to continuously educate them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to learn more about the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/serverlift.com\/nl\/why-us\/safety\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">culture of safety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at ServerLIFT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.
