Consolidated Requirements

4.2.9

Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR)

The DEAR Clause

970.5204-2, "Integration of Environment, Safety and Health

into Work Planning and Execution". The contractor shall

comply with, and assist the Department of Energy in

complying with ES&H requirements of all applicable laws

and regulations, and applicable directives identified in the

clause of this contract on Laws, regulations, and DOE

Directives. The contractor shall cooperate with Federal and

non-Federal agencies having jurisdiction over ES&H matters

under his/her contract. Before work is performed, the

associated hazards are evaluated and an agreed-upon set of

ES&H standards and requirements are established which, if

properly implemented, provide adequate assurance that

employees, the public, and the environment are protected

from adverse consequences. Administrative and engineering

controls to prevent and mitigate hazards are tailored to the

work being performed and its associated hazards. Emphasis

should be on designing the work and/or controls to reduce or

eliminate the hazards and to prevent accidents and

unplanned releases and exposures. [See also Safety

Management System Policy (DOE P 450.4) and

Integrated Safety Management System Guide (DOE G

450.4-1B)].

4.2.10 Nuclear Safety Management. The documented safety

10CFR830

analysis requires a systematic identification of all natural and

man-made hazards associated with the facility. Some DOE

contracts may still contain the earlier, more general safety

analysis Order, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports (DOE O

480.23), or it's predecessor, Safety Analysis and Review

System (DOE O 481.1B) for non-nuclear facilities.

4.2.11 Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions. Requires offsite

40CFR68

consequence analysis, development, and implementation of a

Risk Management Plan to protect the public and the

environment by preventing or minimizing the consequences

of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, or flammable

chemicals used in quantities at or above specified thresholds.

Inventories of chemicals must be tracked in order to ensure

that specified chemical limits are not exceeded.

4.2.12 Emergency Planning and Notification. Establishes the list of

40CFR355

extremely hazardous substances, threshold planning

quantities and facility notification responsibilities necessary

for development of state and local emergency response

plans.
