2016 Working Group Goal • To eliminate code repetition – eliminate sections that are a repeat of existing codes and standards (NEC, 70 E, NESC) – this shifts the focus to an R&D handbook • Reorder the handbook to include all material in main body, in a manner that flows • To brainstorm new sections • To consider options for a path forward for publication
2016 Working Group Members • • • Mike Hicks, DOE INL Lloyd Gordon, LANL Tim Snow, NREL Richard Green, LLNL Don Bourcier, LANL Eugene Santiago, BNL Joe Kilar, ANL John Lacenere, PPPL John Echave, LANL Marion Wilde, SNL Mark Mathews, ORNL Terry Meisinger, HQ-DOE retired
2016 Working Group Products • Went through complete handbook, marked for: – elimination – consideration for reduction/elimination – update • Listed ideas for new material • Proposed options for path forward for publication • Had conference call with headquarters
Options for DOE Electrical Safety Handbook path forward • Updates to existing handbook, DOE • Updates and add new material, DOE • Completely restructure handbook, DOE – Eliminate redundant code info, reorder • Break into two handbooks – Existing application of codes to labs, DOE – Research laboratories, Science and NNSA, EFCOG • Pull handbook out of DOE, make it EFCOG handbook Headquarters committed to support and expedite publication of handbook

2018 Update • Handbook revision approved by headquarters – Justified uniqueness of handbook (e. g. , R&D) – Contains material not found anywhere else • Eliminated code repetition • Reordered Handbook to include all material in main body • Listed ideas for new sections
Consideration for Elimination • The next few slides look at each chapter for – Elimination - Yellow – Update - Blue – Closer consideration – Green
Elimination criteria • Material fully covered by existing code (e. g. , NEC, NESC) – ELIMINATE • Material covered by existing code, but has unique challenges at DOE sites (e. g. , maintenance, excavation) – Revise and keep • Material covered by existing code, but integrates with R&D material (e. g. , AC hazard classification) – Integrate and keep • Material unique to handbook (e. g. , equipment approval, hazard classification, etc. ) – KEEP - This is about 80% or more of the material
