Readiness for Confirmation is multifaceted cont'd

DOE-HDBK-1148-2002

Confirmation Team Co-Chairs should visit the site several weeks before confirmation,

review the schedule and documentation and develop a strategy to follow during the

Confirmation Team visit. For a large N&S Process the Confirmation Team Co-Chairs

should visit the site and become familiar with the documentation, review the schedule for

presentations and tours and meet with key staff. These interactions will permit the Co-

Chairs to develop an effective and efficient strategy for the full team s visit.

The Change Control Process for the WSS set and ISM implementation should be

integrated and an organization identified to administratively manage the set. The WSS

set is an integral part of the ISM process and any changes to the set need to be

implemented in a timely manner. By having a combined Change Control Board, the

selection and revision of standards will be fully integrated with their implementation to

assure the maintenance of an adequate safety system at LLNL.
