Management (MG)

MG.1 The ISMS Description is consistent and responsive to DOE Policies 450.4, 450.5,

and 450.6; the DEAR; and the direction to the contractor from the Approval Authority.

The contractor policies and procedures ensure that the ISMS Description is maintained,

implemented, and that implementation mechanisms result in integrated safety

management.

MG.2 Contractor roles and responsibilities are clearly defined to ensure satisfactory

safety, accountability and authority. Line management is responsible for safety.

Competence is commensurate with responsibilities.

MG.3 Feedback information on the effectiveness of the ISMS is gathered, opportunities

for improvement are identified and implemented, line and independent oversight is

conducted, and if necessary, regulatory enforcement actions occur.

MG.4 Contractor procedures provide a method to ensure that controls are implemented

during preparation for the initiation of work at each leve3l. The procedures ensure that

adequate controls are identified to mitigate the identified hazards and the controls are

effectively implemented. Contractor procedures provide assurance that controls will

remain in effect so long as the hazards are present.
