OBJECTIVE

HAZ.2 An integrated process has been established and is utilized to develop controls that

mitigate the identified hazards present within a facility or activity. The set of controls ensure

adequate protection of the public, worker, and the environment and are established as agreed

upon by DOE. These mechanisms demonstrate integration, which merge together at the

workplace. (CE II-3)

CRITERIA:

1. Procedures and/or mechanisms are in place to develop, review, approve and maintain

current all elements of the facility Authorization Basis Documentation with an integrated

workforce.

2. Procedures and/or mechanisms that identify and implement appropriate controls for

hazards mitigation within the facility or activity are developed and utilized by workers (see

Section 4 for definition) and approved by line managers. These procedures/mechanisms

reflect the set of safety requirements agreed to by DOE.

3. Standards and requirements are appropriately tailored to the hazards.

4. Procedures and/or mechanisms are in place to develop, maintain, and utilize Authorization

Agreements.

5. Procedures and/or mechanisms are in place to effectively and accurately implement all

aspects of the Authorization Basis.

APPROACH:

Record Review: Review a sample of hazard control documents to verify safety controls are

provided for the hazards identified and that the control strategy encompasses a hierarchy of

1) hazard elimination, 2) engineering controls, 3) administrative controls, and 4) personnel

protective equipment. Typical documents include Authorization Agreements (AAs), Safety

Analysis Reports (SARs), Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs), Health and Safety Plans

(HASPs), Radiological Work Permits (RWPs), operating procedures, etc. Review

procedures and mechanisms to ensure accurate and effective implementation of Authorization

Basis documentation. Sample actual implementing documentation. Coordinate the review of

work related documents such as RWPs and operating procedures with the OP and SME

functional area reviewers.

Interviews: Interview personnel responsible for developing and implementing hazard controls

and/or Authorization Basis Documentation at the facility level. This should include personnel

such as those responsible for SAR/TSR preparations and implementation, ALARA review

requirements, Process Hazard Analysis activities, etc.

Observations: Observe the actual processes development, review, approval, and

implementation of SAR/TSR, AA, and other Authorization Basis Documents as available.
