DOE-HDBK-1139/3-2005
CHAPTER OVERVIEWS
CHAPTER 1: HAZARD ANALYSIS
This chapter consolidates existing DOE and other federal safety and health requirements and National
Standards that address the identification of chemical hazards. State and local code requirements are not
included. The consolidated requirements addressed here apply to all locations involved in the storage
and/or use of chemicals and chemical products (see def.).
While this chapter is very short, its importance cannot be overstated. Several objectives of the hazard
analysis requirements consolidated in this chapter include the:
 identification and analysis of potential hazards so that appropriate preventive and mitigative
measures can be taken to protect workers and the general public;
 communication of hazards and associated controls to workers;
 identification of the presence and magnitude of certain hazards in order to determine the
applicability of relevant safety standards (e.g., threshold quantities established in certain
federal regulations).
This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section, 4.1, contains a consolidation of requirements
for hazard analysis and hazard communication associated with the general use of chemicals. Section 4.2
details consolidated requirements for analyzing hazards when certain hazardous operations are involved.
This section is similar to section 4.1, but contains more specificity and additional rigor regarding hazard
analysis methods and documentation.
Key to this chapter is the recognition that hazard identification, though generally implied rather than
being directly stated, is an underlying principle of hazard analysis, since without first being properly
identified, hazards cannot be analyzed or evaluated for ultimate mitigation.

CHAPTER 2: CHEMICAL ACQUISITION
This chapter covers those existing DOE and other federal requirements that govern the acquisition of
chemicals, and applies to all locations involved in the storage and/or use of chemicals and chemical
products (see def.). State and local requirements are not included. It consolidates direct health and
safety-related acquisition requirements applicable to the procurement of chemicals and summarizes
implied requirements for the acquisition of chemicals and chemical products that are included in various
regulations and standards but are not directly mandated by them. This chapter is divided into seven major
sections. Each section of the chapter contains consolidated requirements for the procurement of a specific
class or type of chemical or chemical product.
Section 4.1 of this chapter consolidates general Health and Safety requirements that must be addressed
when chemicals are procured. The remaining sections of this chapter consolidate additional non-safety
and health-related acquisition requirements for specific classes of chemicals and chemical products and
are provided for informational purposes only. Section 4.2 consolidates requirements for the procurement
of alcohol, section 4.3 requirements for the procurement of helium, section 4.4 requirements for Fuel and
Petroleum, section 4.5 requirements for Arms and Ammunition, section 4.6 requirements for DOE-
specific materials (Heavy Water, Precious Metals, Lithium), and 4.7 requirements for Controlled
Substances.
