Enhancing Seismic Restraint for High-Value Equipment at Stanford Laboratories

The Non-Structural Hazard Mitigation Program aims to minimize the damage of high-value building contents during seismic events. This initiative focuses on establishing guidelines for proper restraint techniques, providing financial incentives for implementation, and ensuring ongoing maintenance of restraints in Stanford laboratories and offices. Responsibilities include developing restraint guidance, reviewing funding requests, and cataloging restrained equipment. An online tool will facilitate data collection and sharing to enhance communication and support across departments. Join us in promoting safety and resilience in our workspace.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Non-Structural Hazard Mitigation ProgramFocus Group 4/3/09

  2. Welcome • Agenda • Introduce program • Review program elements • Solicit feedback • Review restraint methodology

  3. Program Objective • Reduce losses due to damage or destruction of high value building contents during a seismic event • Establish a program to encourage restraint of high value equipment in Stanford laboratories and offices

  4. Program Objective • Facilitate the process to reduce administrative barriers to restraining equipment by • Providing instructions on proper restraint techniques • Provide monetary incentive • Establish a system to encourage maintenance of restraints over time

  5. Responsibilities • EH&S • Develop restraint guidance on most commonly used equipment • Develop system for collecting equipment information • Review and process matching funds requests • Reimburse departments after restraints have been completed • Update restraint catalog as needed

  6. Responsibilities • Laboratories • Identify high value equipment • Review restraint recommendations • Submit a matching funds request • Purchase restraints or engage contractor to perform work • Certify that restraints have been completed • Maintain equipment restraints over time • Provide feedback on restraint instructions • Add to the catalog of examples by submitting photographs of restrained equipment

  7. Online tool • Concept • A system to facilitate the collection and sharing of information regarding seismic restraints • Facilitate the collection of data by laboratories • Collect feedback on restraint recommendations • Share information about previous experiences with new users

  8. Ideal Solution • Tie in to Sunflower • Enter the equipment SU ID# and autofill the required data • After equipment has been restrained, make an entry in the system indicating that it has been completed • Use the annual equipment inventory process to verify that equipment is still restrained

  9. Interim solution • Collect the data • Process reimbursements

  10. Outstanding Issues • Rollout process options • First come/first served • Selected areas • Submission deadline with approval based on cost/benefit ratio

  11. Name that Program Contest • Submit a name for the program • NSHM just doesn’t have that ring

  12. Classification Methodology • Fouad Bendimerad & Nathan Canney
