COMPARISON OF HAZARD ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS

DOE contractors conduct multiple hazard analysis activities in accordance with ISM and various

DOE orders, rules and federal regulations. This Handbook identifies numerous requirements

having direct reference to hazard identification, hazard analysis, hazard evaluation, hazard

assessment, accident analysis, and risk analysis or risk assessment. These requirements may be

found in the following primary source documents:

48 CFR 970.5204-2 (c)(2), "DOE Acquisition Regulations"

10 CFR 830, Subpart B, "Nuclear Safety Management"

10 CFR 835, "Occupational Radiation Protection"

10 CFR 850, "Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program"

10 CFR 1021, "National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures"

29 CFR 1910.119 and 1926.54, "Process Safety Management"

29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65, "Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response"

40 CFR 68, "Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions"

40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, "Council on Environmental Quality"

DOE O 151.1, "Comprehensive Emergency Management System"

DOE 420.1, "Facility Safety"

DOE O 440.1A, "Worker Protection Management"

Various other OSHA regulations as found in 29 CFR 1910 and 1926

[NOTE: environmental regulations related to hazardous waste management and cleanup are not

included at this time]

The primary requirement for hazard analysis is found in the DOE Acquisition Regulations

(DEAR, ES&H Clause), which requires an identification and evaluation of hazards associated

with work as part of an overall documented safety management system (i.e., ISM). Other hazard

analysis requirements support this paradigm and share a similar basic intent that is to identify and
