5.4

Hazard Baseline Documentation Criteria for Other EM Industrial Facilities

Contractors shall implement recognized industrial practices (i.e., comply with safety

and health requirements as mandated by OSHA), regardless of whether the amount of

radioactive and hazardous material potentially releasable from a facility is less than the

RQ values listed in 40 CFR 302 and its corresponding appendices.

A HASP is

required for all facilities with, or dealing with, hazardous waste activities. EM industrial

facilities that do not deal with hazardous waste activities such as office buildings or

parking lots may ensure the safety of workers through their appropriate OSHA safety

and health programs and other related requirements such as construction safety

requirements. Recognized industrial practices shall include measures primarily

focused at the protection of workers. Measures to mitigate standard industrial hazards

or accident scenarios may be embodied in procedures. Examples include hoisting and

rigging safety requirements, fall protection, fire protection, electrical safety, and the

cleanup of chemical spills (below thresholds). Health and safety requirements for

construction projects shall be analyzed and documented in accordance with both 29

CFR 1926 and DOE 5480.9A.

5.5

Health and Safety Plans

For all EM facilities having or dealing with hazardous waste, a HASP shall be developed

in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 as mandated by DOE 5480.4 and DOE 5483.1A.

It shall, as a minimum, cover each site, task, operation, activity, or project defined in the

workplan, and address the following elements:

A. Health and safety risk or hazard identification for each site task, operation,

activity, or project defined in the workplan. All chemical, radiological, and physical

hazards, e.g. noise and heat, must be identified in the HASP. Actions taken to

mitigate risks or hazards shall be identified. This risk or hazard identification should

have a common basis with, or integrate the results of other documents such as a

SAR or ASA;
