OPERATIONS TURNOVER

1. INTRODUCTION

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

for, Operations Turnover, Chapter XII 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 turnover programs. Contractors are

advised to adopt procedures that meet the intent of DOE Order 5480.19.

"Operations Turnover" is an element of an effective Conduct of Operations program. The

complexity and array of activities performed in DOE facilities dictate the necessity for a

formal operations turnover program to promote safe and efficient operations.
