1. INTRODUCTION

This Guide to Good Practices is written to enhance understanding of, and provide direction

for, Operations Organization and Administration, Chapter I of Department of Energy (DOE)

Order 5480.19, Conduct of Operations Requirements for DOE Facilities. The practices in

this guide should be considered when planning or reviewing operations organization and

administration programs. Contractors are advised to adopt procedures that meet the intent

of DOE Order 5480.19. This standard should be used in conjunction with principles of the

Integrated Safety Management System as incorporated in DOE G 450.4-1, Integrated Safety

Management System Guide.

"Operations Organization and Administration" is an element of an effective Conduct of

Operations program. The complexity and array of activities performed in DOE facilities

dictate the necessity for well-defined standards and requirements for safe and efficient

operations.
