Protecting the beamlines against contamination is critical to FRIB operations, and thus, various administrative and engineered controls have been put in place to protect the SRF cryomodules. These controls include local vacuum interlocks for cryomodule isolation, accelerator-wide interlocks, and software controls to safeguard the cryomodules and beamlines. Meanwhile, efforts are being made to provide training and develop programs with the goal of preventing critical failures during maintenance. This paper discusses the measures and approaches used for both system integration to support operations and SRF beamline protection.}}, }
