requires temporary location near the pertinent process areas in readiness for near-term use or

for movement to other process areas may also be considered "in-process." For material

involved in laboratory operations, analogous definitions shall be applied to determine eligibility

for the "in-process" or "in-use" category and consequent exclusion from storage requirements of

these criteria. [DOE O 6430.1A]

304.

INCIDENT ENERGY. The amount of energy impressed on a surface, a certain distance from

the source, generated during an electrical arc event. One of the units used to measure incident

energy is calories per centimeter squared (cal/cm2). [NFPA 70E]

305.

INDIVIDUAL. Any human being. [10 CFR 835.2]

306.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE. The science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition,

evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the

workplace that may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort

and inefficiency among workers. [DOE O 5480.10A (Draft)]

307.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE SURVEY. An evaluation of workplaces, operations, and controls

to identify and determine the existence and extent of hazardous or potentially hazardous

exposures and to identify exposed and potentially exposed employees. At a minimum, the

survey consists of an inspection of the workplace to determine conformance with Department of

Energy-prescribed industrial hygiene requirements, observation of the work operation, and

appropriate monitoring as required by this Order to measure the hazardous or potentially

hazardous exposure of employees. [DOE O 5480.10A (Draft)]

308.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST. A person having a college or university degree or degrees in

engineering, chemistry, physics, or medicine or related biological sciences who, by virtue of

special studies and training, has acquired competence in Industrial Hygiene. Such special

studies and training must have been sufficient in all of the above cognate sciences to provide the

abilities:

A. to recognize the environmental factors and stresses associated with work and work

operations and to understand their effect on people and their well being;

B. to evaluate, on the basis of experience and with the aid of quantitative measurement

techniques, the magnitude of these stresses in terms of ability to impair an individual's health

and well being; and
