MANAGEMENT (MG)

OBJECTIVE

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. (CE I-1)

Criteria

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.

2. The contractor has mechanisms in place to direct, monitor, and verify the integrated

implementation of the ISMS as described in the ISMS Description. Implementation and

integration expectations and mechanisms are evident throughout all corporate/site

organizational functions.

3. The contractor has assigned responsibilities and established mechanisms to ensure that the

ISMS Description is maintained current and that the annual update information is prepared

and submitted.

4. The contractor has established a process that establishes, documents, and implements

safety performance objectives, performance measures, and commitments in response to DOE

program and budget execution guidance. The ISMS describes how system effectiveness will

be measured.

Approach

Record Review: Review the ISMS Description and the direction concerning the guidance on

the preparation, content, review and approval of the ISMS. Review corporate/site

procedures for the implementation review, and maintenance of the ISMS Description and

associated items, including provisions for the annual review and update to DOE. Review

charters and "output documentation" from any ISMS coordinating committees. Review

contractor assessment activities incident to determination of the adequacy of implementation

of ISMS. Review implementation planning efforts and any "gap analysis" reports, which may

have been developed. Review the process established to measure the effectiveness of the

ISMS to ensure that the methods support the establishment, documentation, and

implementation of safety performance objectives that support DOE program and budget

execution guidance.

Interviews: Interview contractor managers who are responsible for the development and

maintenance of the ISMS Description. Interview contractor line managers who are or will be

responsible for administering the mechanisms of the ISMS. Interview chairman and key

members of any ISMS coordinating committees, if established.
