Accident/incident investigation, analysis, and reporting as it is practiced within DOE.

DOE-STD-1160-2003

Excavation and trenching inspection considerations

Soil types and test for determining same.

Discuss the following hazard control considerations associated with demolition

operations:

Structural support considerations

Project planning and activity hazard analyses

Hazards associated with debris and appropriate removal techniques

Hazards associated with remaining energy sources, equipment, and materials

(hazardous chemicals/wastes).

g. Describe construction-related heat and cold stress hazards and identify appropriate

control measures.

h. Discuss hazards and identify appropriate controls associated with construction

equipment and operations including, but not limited to, the following:

Scaffolding and other elevated work structures or platforms

Tools, hand and power

Heavy equipment (e.g., earth-moving equipment) and traffic

Placement and temporary support of walls, floors, and other structures.

Identify hazards related to new construction (e.g., steel erection, masonry work, fall

protection, wood framing, and shoring).

Occupational safety personnel shall demonstrate a working-level knowledge of

accident/incident investigation, analysis, and reporting as it is practiced within DOE.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

a. Describe purpose of accident/incident investigations within DOE.

b. Discuss and demonstrate ability to apply criteria for determining the need for a

particular type of accident/incident investigation.

c. Describe accident causation models, emphasizing the importance of human reliability

and effective management systems.

d. Discuss and apply necessary techniques for gathering facts applicable to an

investigation and interviewing witnesses.

e. Discuss and apply necessary analysis techniques used in accident investigations, such

as management oversight and risk tree; change analysis; events and causal factor

analysis; energy trace and barrier analysis; and basic tree analysis.

Describe purpose and content of an accident investigation report.

g. Discuss importance of providing feedback on accident investigations, and describe the

management systems necessary to ensure this feedback is communicated to DOE.
