Integrated Safety Management System Phase I Verification Objectives

Business, Budget, and Contracts (Program Management) (BBC)

BBC.1 DOE and contractor procedures ensure that missions are translated into work,

expectations are set, tasks are identified and prioritized, and resources allocated.

BBC.2 DOE and contractor budgeting and resource assignment procedures include a

process to ensure the application of balanced priorities. Resources are allocated to

address safety, programmatic, and operational considerations. Protecting the public,

workers, and the environment is a priority whenever activities are planned and

performed.

BBC.3 The contractor procedures and practices ensure that personnel who define the

scope of work and allocate resources have competence that is commensurate with the

assigned responsibilities.

Department of Energy (DOE)

DOE.1 DOE has established processes that interface efficiently and effectively with the

contractor's organization to ensure that work is performed safely.

DOE.2 DOE has established processes that interface efficiently and effectively with the

contractor's organization to provide feedback and continuous improvement. Feedback

information on the adequacy of controls is gathered, opportunities for improving the

definition and planning of work are identified and implemented, line and independent

oversight is conducted, and, if necessary, regulatory enforcement actions occur.

Hazards Identification and Standard Selection (HAZ)

HAZ.1 Hazards associated with the work are identified, analyzed, and categorized.

HAZ.2 Applicable standards and requirements are identified and agreed-upon.

HAZ.3 Contractor procedures ensure that contractor personnel responsible for

analyzing the hazards and developing, reviewing, or implementing the controls, have

competence that is commensurate with their responsibilities. DOE roles and

responsibilities are clearly defined to ensure appropriate oversight and review of the

analysis of hazards and the identification of controls. Personnel shall possess the

experience, knowledge, skills and abilities that are necessary to discharge their

responsibilities.
