8.1

INTRODUCTION

This section provides an introduction to the contents of this cha pter based on the

graded approach and includes objectives and scope specific to the chapter as

developed.

8.2

REQUIREMENTS

This section lists the design codes, standards, regulations, and DOE Orders that are

required for establishing the safety basis of the facility. The intent is to provide

only the requirements that are specific for this chapter and pertinent to the safety

analysis, and not a comprehensive listing of all industrial standards or codes or

criteria. SRIDs may be referenced as appropriate.

8.3

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL PROTECTION AND ORGANIZATION

This section summarizes the program, including the safety management policies

and philosophies used as a basis for the program. Reference facility documents

detailing the program. Identify the organizational structure of the hazardous

material protection program including staffing levels and qualifications, positions

of authority and responsibilities, and interfaces with other safety organizations and

facility operations. The organizational summary may be provided in this chapter

or Chapter 17, "Management, Organization, and Institutional Safety Provisions."

8.4

ALARA POLICY AND PROGRAM

This section summarizes the ALARA policy and program for the facility.

Historically, hazardous materials, unlike radioactive materials, have often been

evaluated assuming de minimis level below which little harm is associated with

exposures (e.g., OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits). Where this is the case for

given subject matter, ALARA needs to be considered a qualitative concept

evaluated against OSHA and industrial hygiene exposure standards and guidelines.

8.5

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL TRAINING

This section summarizes plans and procedures for general training of employees

on hazardous material safety, training of workers, supervisors, and managers who

are involved in activities involving hazardous materials protection, and training of

industrial hygiene technicians. Reference, as appropriate, Chapter 12, "Procedures

and Training" if that chapter presents requested information.
