INTRODUCTION

1.1

Scope

This standard provides a framework for a construction safety program for use on

DOE construction projects that will comply with the requirements of DOE Order

440.1A, Worker Protection Management for DOE Federal and Contractor Employees,

its accompanying Guide, DOE G 440.1-2, Construction Safety Management Guide For

Use With DOE Order 440.1, and DOE Policy 450.4, Safety Management System

Policy.

Purpose

The intent of this standard is to provide an effective methodology for managing the

hazards inherent to construction work in a systematic manner that can be easily

integrated with the management of other technical aspects of a construction project.

It is written in a manner that facilitates its direct incorporation into the specifications

of construction contracts between the DOE and construction contractors or DOE

M&O contractors and their construction subcontractors.

1.3

Applicability

This standard applies to construction contractors and their subcontractors performing

work on DOE construction projects.
