Relationship of Facility Representative with DOE Managers.

DOE-STD-1063-2006

Representative shall "Stop Work" in the following instances, as a

minimum:

Conditions exist that pose an imminent danger 1 to the health

and safety of workers or the public.

Conditions e xist, that if allowed to continue, could adversely

affect the safe operation of, or could cause serious damage to,

the facility.

Conditions exist, that if allowed to continue, could result in the

release, from the facility to the environment, of radiological or

chemical effluents that exceed regulatory limits.

4.1.8

Relationship of Facility Representative with DOE Managers. Facility

Representatives should periodically meet with line/program

managers within the field element and senior line managers within

the field element to provide information related to the assigned

facilities. If safety or operational concerns are not resolved to the

satisfaction of the Facility Representative, the Facility Representative

should elevate the concerns through the defined DOE management

hierarchy until an adequate resolution is obtained (see also Section

5.9). It is highly desirable that each Facility Representative only be

assigned facilities under a single line/program manager within the

field element and under a single Cogni zant Secretarial Officer. This

might not be practical at multi -program facilities, or when more than

one facility is involved.

4.1.9

Relationship of Facility Representative with Other DOE Oversight

Personnel. Descriptions of Senior Technical Safety Managers and

Safety System Oversight and their relationships to Facility

Representatives can be found in DOE M 426.1 -1A, Federal Technical

Capability Manual.

4.1.10

Relationship of Facility Representative with Operating Contractor .

Facility Representatives occupy a unique position in the transmission

of information between DOE and its contractors. Facility

Representatives should be able to communicate effectively with all

levels of the contractor organization. They should be familiar with the

contractor chain of command for facility operations. The Facility

Representative should always strive to work constructively and

effectively with contractor personnel to meet the shared goals of safe

and efficient facility operations, in accordance with relevant DOE and

contractual expectations. Facility Representatives should represent

DOE to the contractor and ensure the contractor carries out DOE

Any condition or practice such that a hazard exists that could reasonably be expected to cause death or serious physical

harm to employees (permanent or prolonged impairment of the body or temporary disablement or requiring

hospitalization), unless immediate actions are taken to mitigate the effects of the hazard and/or remove employees from

the hazard.
