OBJECTIVE

DOE.2 DOE procedures and mechanisms ensure that hazards are analyzed, controls are

developed, and that feedback and improvement programs are in place and effective. DOE line

managers are using these processes effectively, consistent with FRAM and FRA requirements.

(CE II-8)

CRITERIA:

1. DOE processes and/or mechanisms are in place to ensure that the contractor' hazard

analysis covers the hazards associated with the work and is sufficient for selecting standards.

(FRAM 9.3.1)

2. DOE procedures and/or mechanisms are in place in which DOE directs the contractor to

propose facility or activity-specific standards tailored to the work and the hazards. DOE

procedures require that appropriate safety requirements in necessary functional areas are

included in contracts. (FRAM 9.4.1)

3. DOE procedures and/or mechanisms are in place that direct DOE line manager oversight

to ensure that implementation of hazards mitigation programs and controls are established.

(FRAM 9.4.2)

4. DOE procedures and/or mechanisms are in place that direct the preparation of the

authorization basis documentation and oversee the implementation by the contractor.

Procedures for development, review, approval, maintenance, and utilization of Authorization

Agreements are implemented. (FRAM 9.4.3)

5. DOE procedures and/or mechanisms require that contractors develop a lessons- learned

program and monitor its implementation. A process is established for reviewing occurrence

reports and approving proposed corrective action reports. A DOE process is established and

effectively implemented to continuously improve efficiency and quality of operations.

Corrective actions are developed, implemented, and tracked in order to profit from prior

experience and the lessons learned. DOE provides effective line oversight of the contractor'

self-assessment programs. (FRAM 9.6.2)

APPROACH:

Record Review: Review the FRAM/FRA and DOE implementing guidance to determine that

a process for ensuring that effective interfaces with the contractor' ISMS has been

established. Review DOE procedures for ensuring that adequate provisions are included for

verification that hazards are properly identified, analyzed, and categorized. Review the

approved and in process hazards analysis documentation to verify that contractor procedures

and mechanisms have been properly reviewed and approved. Review DOE procedures that

specify the process to be followed for the review and approval of standards and hazard

controls. Ascertain that DOE has approved the process used by the contractor to tailor the

selection of standards and requirements.

Review the process used for the review, approval, and implementation of authorization basis

documentation including authorization protocols and agreements. Review the DOE process
