Safety Requirements for Plant and Operations Support Buildings

SAES includes the minimum mandatory safety requirements governing the siting, design, and construction of (a) all onshore in-plant buildings, (b) out-of-plant buildings within 500 m of a plant perimeter fence, (c) offshore buildings, with SAES-B-009 taking precedence over SAES-B-014 in case of conflicts, and (d) service buildings, whether inside or outside of plants, that directly support in-plant operations, such as communications facilities, centralized computer facilities, and electrical substations. Where SAES-B-014 is in conflict with the specialized requirements of SAES-B-060 or SAES-B-070, those Standards shall govern.
