Introduction
導入
Engeneering: Engineering is the application of mathematics, as well as scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge to invent, innovate, design, build, maintain, research, and improve structures, machines, tools, systems, components, materials, processes, solutions, and organizations.
工学: 工学とは、数学的、自然科学的、経済的、社会的および実践的な知識を応用して構造、機械、ツール、システム、コンポーネント、素材、プロセス、サービス、および組織を発明、革新、設計、構築、研究および改善することである。
In-universe, most of the Foundation's containment successes can be undoubtedly attributed to the engineering staff and professionals that design and implement the containment procedures and devices used across the Foundation's sites. Yes, scientists and researchers find out how an object works, but it is the engineering department's job to take that knowledge and make it practical.
作中世界において財団の収容成功のほとんどは、財団サイト全体で使用される収容プロトコルやデバイスを設計・実施するエンジニアスタッフとプロフェッショナルによるものであることは間違いないでしょう。ええ、科学者や研究者たちはオブジェクトがどのように作用するのかを調査します。しかしその知識を取り入れて実用化するのは工学部門の仕事です。
Containment and You
収容とあなた
aka: why are Level 4 personnel directly touching SCPs?
aka: なぜレベル4職員は直接SCPに触れるのか？
One of the primary duties of a Foundation engineering specialist, and perhaps the most critical, would be to experiment with, approve, and implement effective containment protocols for the various threats and anomalies that the Foundation contains. A seemingly minor mistake could end fatally for the researchers and containment staff that rely on effective containment procedures to protect them.
財団工学スペシャリストの主要な仕事の一つであり、恐らく最も重要なのは、様々な脅威と財団の収容するアノマリーに対して効果的な収容プロトコルを実験、承認、および実装することです。一見するとわずかなミスが、彼らを保護するための、効果的な収容プロトコルに依存する研究員や収容スタッフにとって致命的なものとなる可能性があります。
As a writer, creating effective containment procedures shows others that you did your research and thought carefully about what the anomaly is, and the measures the Foundation takes to keep it contained from the world. Well-written containment procedures are similar to a well-fitted tuxedo or a beautiful gown - the work shows, and draws people in.
著者としては効果的な収容プロトコルを創造することで、アノマリーがどのような存在なのか、財団が世間からの封じ込めを維持するためどのような行動をとるのか、あなたが研究し注意深く考えていることの証明となります。良く書かれた収容プロトコルは人を惹きつけます - 良く似合ったタキシード、美しいガウンのように。
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
個人防護用具(PPE)
Personnel who are required to be in close proximity to a contained SCP or to subjects/structures affected by an SCP should be wearing appropriate protective gear. Examples of protective gear would include the following:
収容されているSCPやSCPの影響を受けた被検体/構造物に接近する人物は適切な防護装備を身に着ける必要があります。防護装備は以下のような例が含まれるでしょう。
| Protection Available |
Hazard Indicated |
| Work Boots |
Sharp items on ground, wet environments, potential exposure to live electricity, slippery environments, cold and hot environments |

Absorption-based chemicals, strong acids/bases, cold/hot objects, sharp objects |
| Ear Muffs |
Auditory SCPs, loud noises from machinery |
| Eye Shields |
Projectiles, dusts, liquids, aerosols |
| UV Eye Shading |

Falls |
| Other Devices as Hazard Warrants |
Administrative Controls
管理制御
Administrative controls are training, procedure, policy, or shift designs that lessen the threat of a hazard to an individual.
管理制御とは、個人に対するハザード脅威を軽減するための訓練や手順、ポリシー、シフト設計のことである。。
Administrative controls enforce hazard control via manipulating operator behavior. This is usually performed via on-the-job training, seminars, and continual improvement projects aimed at reducing potential exposure to a hazard.
管理制御はオペレーターの行動を操作することでハザード制御を行います。これは多くの場合、ハザードへの潜在的な曝露の軽減を目的とする実地訓練やセミナー、継続的改善プロジェクトを通して実行されます。
Examples of administrative controls would be as follows:
管理制御の例は以下のようなものがあります:
| Example |
Explanation |
| Prohibition of touching SCPs |
Certain SCPs may exhibit anomalous or deleterious effects via touch. Training, in conjunction with protective barriers and PPE, will provide an additional barrier against accidental contact. |
| Warning Signage |
Warning signs are used to signal that a specific threat exists, and may serve to heighten personnel awareness and caution when conducting operations in the hazard area. |
| Maintenance Schedules |
Maintenance schedules are designed to reduce the likelihood of an essential or critical piece of machinery failing at an inopportune time, as well as providing more data to improve existing processes and devices. |
Engineering Controls
工学的制御
The Foundation works by containing its objects, and tailoring containment to account for whatever anomaly is present. As each object is considered a hazard, isolating the hazard from its workers ensures that there is a lessened exposure to risk for most Foundation personnel.
財団はオブジェクトを収容し、ことで機能します。作業員からハザードを隔離することで
The Foundation has a variety of engineering controls available through industrial and medical advances, as indicated below. All of these serve the purpose of isolating the user from the hazard.
その工業的・医療的の進歩から、財団は以下に示される多彩な工学的制御が可能です。これらはすべて、使用者からハザードを隔離する上で有用なものです。
| Control Method |
Explanation |
| Machine Fences |
Fences, made from steel bars or acrylic sheets, are utilized in industry to assist in preventing inadvertent access to the protected zone within the fence perimeters. |
| Light Curtains |
Invisible (laser or IR) beams between an emitter/receiver pair "guard" an opening in a permanent/semi-permanent barrier. Breaking the beam will activate a safety mechanism, which is usually stoppage of a machine. |
| Gloveboxes |
Gloveboxes allow for sensitive work to be completed within its confines, vapor-sealed from the outside environment via air locks and other mechanisms. True to its name, there are glove protrusions that allow users to work with objects inside the box. |
| Airlocks |
Airlocks are partitions with sealed doors, utilized to allow people and materials to traverse between two zones of different atmospheres or pressures, without those two zones intermingling. |
| Remote Manipulators |
Remote manipulators usually consist of a large robotic arm, and a smaller manipulator or control pendant that is utilized by the operator in a different area, to control the larger arm. |
| HVAC Systems |
HVAC systems utilized in engineering controls will be specifically routed to ensure that air moved through hazardous areas does not intermingle with air destined for common spaces, and that any air moving through a hazardous area is filtered prior to discharge. |
This is by no means an exhaustive list - other isolating mechanisms do exist. This guide is just to give an introduction as to what mundane means exist that may be of use to you in your writing.
これは決して網羅的なリストではありません - この他にも隔離装置は存在します。当ガイドは、あなたが執筆に使えるかもしれないありふれた手法についての導きの書に過ぎません。
This being a fictional writing site, there are certain objects written in by other authors that are designed to make containment easier, and that do not exist in real life. This section is purposefully kept short, as this part is ultimately up to every individual author.
ここは架空の執筆サイトですから、他の著者によって執筆され、収容を容易にするようデザインされた現実には存在しない物品が存在します。このセクションは、結局は各著者に委ねられる部分であるため意図的に短くしています。
Some items that may be quoted as part of containment may consist as follows:
収容の一環として含まれうるアイテムとしては以下のものが挙げられます。
| Esoteric Control |
Explanation |
| 特殊な制御 |
説明 |
| SCP-148 |
The Telekill Alloy is noted for its properties of blocking telepathic signals. The mechanism behind this is currently unknown, and the material itself is rare and cannot be synthesized, as the data behind its creation was lost. It is uncommon to see this SCP utilized in containment procedures today, and its usage not encouraged. |

It is uncommon to see this SCP utilized in containment procedures today, and its usage not encouraged. |
| Scranton Reality Anchors (SRAs) |
| スクラントン現実錨 (SRA) |
SRA are devices utilized to "enforce" reality around it, nullifying attempts at reality alteration performed around it. The strength of enforcement can be controlled, and such devices are nominally utilized to counteract reality-bending objects and entities. |
| Thaumiel-Class Objects |
Thaumiel-class objects are SCPs specifically utilized to enforce containment of other SCPs, usually Keter-class objects or objects with potentially catastrophic consequences should containment fail. Thaumiel-class objects are a closely guarded secret, with their true existence and description generally only available to Overseer-level staff. |
| Thaumielクラスオブジェクト |

Thaumiel-class objects are a closely guarded secret, with their true existence and description generally only available to Overseer-level staff. |
This is by no means an exclusive list, and other esoteric methods may be written as authors and stories continue to be created and evolve.
これは決して網羅的なリストではなく、著者や物語が創作・発展する中で、ここにないような特殊な手法が描かれることもあります。
