Hazards Identification and Standard Selection (HAZ)

DOE-HDBK-3027-99

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION AND STANDARD SELECTION (HAZ)

OBJECTIVE

HAZ.1 Hazards associated with the work are identified, analyzed, and categorized. (CE I-3,

CE I-9)

Criteria

1. Contractor and DOE procedures require identification, analysis, and categorization of all

hazards associated with the site. Contractor ISMS procedures for analysis of hazards reflect

accepted rigor and methodology. The resulting hazards are utilized in selection of standards

included in the contract as List A/List B.

2. Contractor procedures require identification, analysis, and categorization of all hazards

associated with facilities or activities. Hazards that are considered include nuclear, chemical,

industrial or others applicable to the work being considered. Contractor procedures for

analysis of hazards reflect accepted rigor and methodology.

Approach

Record Review: Review the contractor' procedures for identifying, analyzing, and

categorizing hazards at both the site as well as the facility level. Review DOE procedures for

authorizing operations to ensure that adequate provisions are included so that hazards are

properly identified and analyzed. Determine that these procedures are adequate to address

the hazards associated with the work and operations.

Review the approved or proposed hazard analysis documentation for selected facilities and

activities to verify consistency and compliance with contractor procedures and mechanisms as

well as compliance with DOE review and approval mechanisms.

Personnel Interviews: Interview corporate/site personnel responsible for identification,

analysis, and categorization of hazards to assess their understanding of the procedures and the

underlying principles and requirements. Interview DOE personnel responsible for the

oversight of the hazards analyses processes to determine that an effective interface with the

contractor has been established.
