Department's philosophy and approach to implementing Integrated Safety Management

DOE-STD-1174-2003

Discuss the purpose and scope of the DOE Order 460.1B, Packaging and

Transportation Safety.

Describe the authorities and responsibilities of radiation protection personnel with

respect to DOE Order 460.1B, Packaging and Transportation Safety.

20.

Radiation protection personnel shall demonstrate a familiarity level knowledge of

the Department's philosophy and approach to implementing Integrated Safety

Management.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Explain the objective of Integrated Safety Management.

Discuss the following existing Department programs and initiatives that lead to

successful implementation of Integrated Safety Management:

Standards/Requirements Identification Documents (S/RIDs) and Work Smart

Standards

Contract reform and performance-based contracting

Activities at Research and Development Laboratory related to safety

management (i.e., pilot oversight program for line ES&H management.)

Operational Readiness Reviews (ORR)

Discuss the purpose, content, and application of DOE Policy 450.4, Safety

Management System Policy and DOE G 450.4-1B, Integrated Safety Management

System Guide.

21.

Radiation protection personnel shall demonstrate a familiarity level knowledge of

the Department's guidance for the structure, function, and operation of a

radiation generating device (RGD) control program as discussed in

Implementation Guide G 441.1-5, Radiation Generating Devices.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Describe the different types of radiation-generating devices that may be used at

Department of Energy (DOE) facilities including:

X-ray machines

Accelerators

Irradiators

Radiography sources

Using Implementation Guide G 441.1-5, Radiation Generating Devices, discuss the

difference between an open beam and cabinet X-ray system and the different types

of controls (design, equipment, and administrative) that can be used to prevent

radiation exposure above DOE limits.

Discuss possible exposure incidents (or ones that have actually happened in

medicine, private industry, or at DOE facilities) as a result of improper practices

with accelerators, irradiators, and radiography sources, or loss of control of

sources.

Discuss possible actions to control sources at DOE facilities, especially

radiography sources brought on DOE sites by subcontractors who may be unaware
