In the US, Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) is the process used to prevent external objects or debris from entering sensitive areas, where they could cause safety hazards or economic damage. This foreign material may comprise elements like dirt, broken parts, tools, and rags.
Application[edit]
FME is vital during maintenance periods when components of a plant are exposed, as there's a risk of foreign material being inadvertently introduced or left inside these components. The application of FME spans various industries. In nuclear and process industries, it's used to ensure the integrity of critical systems like the emergency core cooling system. In the aerospace sector, FME safeguards against foreign materials entering aircraft components. In the construction industry, it's employed to prevent objects from being dropped from heights, which could lead to serious accidents or equipment damage.
