Applicability. - std55020008

DOE-EM-STD-5502-94

EM facility grouping and safety and health hazard identification and control

documentation;

The integration of similar hazard identification and control analyses in

different documents; and

The development and maintenance of safety and health documents.

The priorities placed on the development, maintenance, and implementation of safety

and health hazard identification and control shall provide both workers and the public

appropriate levels of protection.

1.2 Applicability. This standard applies to the classification, development, review and

approval of hazard identification and control documentation for EM facilities. This

standard is currently a limited technical standard but may be broadened at a later time

for other DOE elements. This standard applies to all life cycle stages of an EM facility

including construction, operations, deactivation, decommissioning and

decontamination, removal, disposal, and remediation. Startup or restart of facilities is

not included in this standard. This subject is covered in DOE 5480.31, Startup and

Restart of Nuclear Facilities, and DOE-STD-3006-93, Planning and Conduct of

Operational Readiness Reviews. This standard also does not cover DOE facilities that

are under the jurisdiction of the NRC.

This standard contains criteria for the grouping of EM facilities into nuclear,

radiological, non-nuclear, or industrial. The grouping of facilities is solely for the

purpose of determining the type, grading, and complexity of the hazard identification

and control documentation (and corresponding review and approval process).

Enforcement of requirements (rules, Departmental Directives, or S/RIDs) is based on

the inventory and the form of the hazards involved rather than the groupings discussed

herein. This standard provides guidance on complying with and integrating various

requirements on hazard identification and control documentation, and provides

supplementary detail on how to comply with these requirements.
