Develop and Implement Hazard Controls - DOE-HDBK-1139-1-20060018

DOE-HDBK-1139/1-2006

29 CFR 1910.119

technical aspects of chemicals, chemical safety regulations, and how these technical

40 CFR 355

aspects can influence chemical safety regulation interpretations.

Hazard identification and analysis are performed at both the site and activity level.

While activities involving large chemical quantities are generally analyzed from the

process safety perspective, activities using smaller chemical quantities are analyzed

using ISMS. Results from the hazards analyses are then used to develop mitigative

actions to protect workers, the public and the environment.

1.3 Develop and Implement Hazard Controls

Safety standards and requirements are identified and appropriate controls are

developed using the information obtained from the hazard analysis and prior to

work being performed.

The identification of standards, requirements, and work controls that are applicable

to all aspects of the work help ensure that the work is accomplished safely. This

process is undertaken using the Standards/Requirements Identification Documents

(S/RIDs) or a similar process to ascertain which standards, requirements, and work

S/RIDs

controls should be included.

For hazards that have been included in the site-wide analyses, Lists A and B at

DEAR

DEAR 48 CFR 970.5204- 78(a) and (b) identify the applicable standards and

requirements. List A consists of the required applicable Federal, State, and local

laws and regulations (including DOE regulations), while List B contains the

identified DOE directives appended to the contract. However, as a result of facility

and activity level hazard analysis, new chemical hazards may be identified. These

newly identified hazards may evoke standards not identified earlier in this process.

Based on the identified hazards and standards set, controls are developed to ensure

safe operating condit ions. An integrated process to identify and apply the hierarchy

of controls (engineering, administrative, and personal protective equipment),

including pollution prevention/waste minimization options, should be in place as

part of the site's ISMS.
