Alysse, Question: Is this practice permissible at your facility? Yes.
As others have indicated, locking an LHRA is the ideal control method. However, if this is impractical the use of sturdy barricades should be considered. To avoid over-posting, desensitizing workers, or making access to an area overly restrictive, this is a suitable option allowed by Reg Guide 8.38. We have several areas inside our Containment Building that we barricade during outages to prevent access.

LHRA posting may be placed either on the outer locked door or around the smaller barricading area within the room. Question: Is this practice permissible at your facility? Thank you, Alysse K.
