33、o the cleanrom. 4 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Most cleanroms ned people to perform tasks aso-ciated with the operations being performed. Even fuly automated operations require personel to tend or service automated systems. People and their stret clothing generate contamination, therefore an efec-tive con

34、tamination control system should be adopted to minimize the risks to the product, proces yields, or the cleanrom environment. Also, because activi-ties within the cleanrom can cary in, generate, stir up, or transfer contamination from place to place within the cleanrom, a system of operational proto

35、-cols should be developed, enforced, and monitored to maintain the proper controls. ISO 1464-5 identifies the basic requirements for adresing these opera-tional isues. These normative requirements should be adresed to asure a minimaly thorough opera-tional cleanrom program. This RP serves as a guide

36、 for developing a program to manage contamination caused by or asociated with the people, proceses, and toling in the cleanrom. Contamination may be generated by the people or the activities they perform, or may be transported into the clean environment with the materials brought into it. Programs f

37、or the control of personel-generated con-tamination are complex. In this document, the subjects often overlap. In some areas, there is deliberate redun-dancy betwen two sections. The reader wil find the most specific and detailed information under the topic heading for a particular subject. However,

38、 related sub-ject areas are included in the general discusions when these subject areas are pertinent to or have an efect on the main topic. References to sections of this document that provide more thorough coverage are included. This RP provides a general description of the elements esential to a

39、contamination control program as wel as specific procedures for minimizing human-sourced contamination. The rationale behind the procedures and elements is discused. The intent is to inform the user while asisting with the preparation of compo-nents of the program. This document specifies com-monly

40、acepted procedures and recomendations, and also points out considerations that should be made for a thorough and sucesful program. Because there is a wide variety of degres of cleanli-nes for cleanroms (and diferences in potential con-taminants from which clean environments should protect products),

41、 some aspects of the procedures wil be to stringent for some aplications, while insufi-cient for others. A program should be expected to have a significant amount of individuality. What works wel for one company or industry may not be aceptable in others because of factors such as local culture, fac

42、ility constraints, large work forces, and government regulations. The user is responsible for chosing the elements and degre of compliance that best suit the specific situa-tion. In some cases, the advice of a contamination con-trol consultant may be sought. The science of contamination control is c

43、ontinuously evolving. Users are encouraged to find improved methods for controling contamination apropriate for their neds and to share these with the contamination control comunity. It is helpful to use data or experiments to evaluate whether a procedure is necesary or efective. Test methods are be

It should be noted that there are several references available that provide a thorough background on con-tamination control theories, practices, and considera-tions. These references may be found in the text of this document and should be consulted when the user re-q

These guidelines include physical, me

46、ntal, and job skils demed necesary to help ensure people selected to work in a cleanrom wil not cause undue product contamination and can cope with the restric-tions necesarily imposed by gowning and work prac-tices required in a controled environment. Use of these guidelines wil help ensure that su

47、itable personel are chosen for cleanrom tasks, that they wil be content, and that “people contamination” wil be minimized. 5.1.1 Implementation a) The responsibility for determining personel suit-ability should be asumed by human resource per-sonel aware of the necesary physical, mental, and job ski

48、ls required for the task as identified by the cleanrom anager. b) Whenever posible, potential cleanrom employ-es should be given a cleanrom tour as part of the interview proces. Candidates can be observed for comitment and suitability to work in the cleanrom, including their ability to comprehend in

49、structions. A tour wil help candidates new to cleanrom work decide whether they can tolerate the confinement of cleanrom atire and wil help verify that the corect sizes of cleanrom garments exist in inventory prior to the new employes first workday. 5.1.2 Physical characteristics This section provides special physical and medical criteria for screning potential cleanrom personel. a) Smoker hiring policySmoking is not permited in manufacturing cleanroms or change rom areas or in any area where smoking may adversely afect product quality or personel health by
