Hazardous Material Protection Instrumentation

DOE-STD -3009-94

8.8

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL PROTECTION INSTRUMENTATION

This section summarizes plans and procedures governing hazardous protection

instrumentation. Such instrumentation, whether fixed, portable, or laboratory use,

includes instruments for hazardous material and contamination surveys; sampling;

area hazardous material monitoring; and personnel monitoring during normal

operations and accidents. Include in the summary selection and placement criteria

for technical equipment and instrumentation, types of detectors and monitors, and

their quantity, sensitivity, and range. This section also summarizes plans and

procedures for control of calibration processes and for quality assurance for

calibration and maintenance. Reference Chapter 2, "Facility Description," Chapter

10, "Initial Testing, In-Service Surveillance, and Maintenance," and Chapter 14,

"Quality Assurance," if those chapters contain requested information.

8.9

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL PROTECTION RECORD KEEPING

This section summarizes plans and procedures for retention, and disposition of

records and reports. Discuss document control measures used to ensure that

records are reviewed for adequacy, approved for release by authorized personnel,

and distributed to and used at the locations where required and when needed.

8.10 HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM

This section summarizes the facility's hazard communication program for

obtaining material safety data sheets, providing for employee information and

training, directions for nonroutine tasks and outside contractor, and information for

multi employer worksites and hazardous material labeling.

8.11 OCCUPATIONAL CHEMICAL EXPOSURES

This section summarizes the predicted annual exposures to workers from

hazardous material sources. Worker exposure information will be based on

historical facility data if the operations have not changed.

For new operations or facilities that do not have historical records, provide an

estimate of the projected (calculated) a nnual exposures to the workers from normal

operations (not including accidents). Base such estimates on expected average and

maximum operating conditions, inventories, operating cycles, personnel

occupancy factors, etc., for the facility. Identify the methods, and assumptions

used in estimating occupational exposures. It is acceptable to estimate exposures

based on historical data for similar facilities.

Finally, this section provides a comparison of the measured, estimated

(calculated), or both, worker exposures with the maximum allowable limits. Any

discrepancies among these estimated, measured, or allowed values need to be

discussed.
