Public Protection

DOE-HDBK-1139/2-2006

should be developed to emphasize conduct of operations, hazard identification and analysis,

understanding the MSDS and hazard ratings of chemical products, and use of app ropriate

personal protective equipment (PPE). The CSLM program should also provide collocated

workers with access to technical resources such as the site MSDS database, site policies and

procedures, and SMEs.

5.1.2

Public Protection

Public protection involves operating and maintaining company- managed facilities in compliance

with applicable laws, regulations, and DOE directives. The contractor should design, construct,

and operate new facilities in a manner that minimizes the risk of exposure of individuals and

population groups to hazardous or toxic chemicals.

5.1.3

Environmental Protection

Where use of chemicals is necessary, the contractor should store, use, recycle, and dispose of

these materials in a manner that ensures protection of the environment and human health. The

CSLM Manager should oversee these activities through the development of appropriate policies

and procedures in conjunction with relevant functional disciplines (e.g., environmental, industrial

hygiene, fire protection, and operations).

5.2

Chemical Activity-level Components of CSLM Program

The CSLM program consists of the following 10 activity- level components, which incorporate

both ISMS and EMS principles:

Hazard identification and a nalysis

Acquisition

Che mical inventory management and tracking

Chemical transportation

Chemical storage

Hazard control

Pollution prevention and waste minimization

Chemical emergency management

Chemical disposition

Training

DOE and Federal requirements spanning these c hemical lifecycle activities can be found in

Volume 3 of the DOE Chemical Management Handbook , with the exception of offsite chemical

transportation and waste-related activities (i.e., identification, generation, transportation,

treatment, storage, and disposal of waste). The CSLM program should fully incorporate

applicable requirements of the contractor's ISMS and EMS.

Line manage ment should be held responsible and accountable for implementing site CSLM

program policies and procedures.
