Change Notice No. 1

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 the entire life cycle of the work help ensure that the work is accomplished safely.

This process is undertaken using the Standards/Requirements Identification

Documents (S/RIDs), WSS, or a similar process to ascertain which standards,

S/RIDs

Authorization Bases

requirements, and work controls should be included in contracts.

Work Smart

Standards (WSS)

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

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 conditions. The control of chemical hazards is, in general, no

different than controlling other hazards, i.e., radiological hazards. 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.

A multi-disciplinary hazard analysis team comprised of line management, health

and safety professionals, and workers can effectively tailor the controls applied to

the work at the facility and site level.
