Maintaining Safety and Health Documents

DOE-EM-STD-5502-94

(including the SAR) documents the hazard/accident analysis associated with radiological

and chemical materials. Documentation of other hazard analyses or assessments are in

other safety and health documents, such as contractor work packages; PSM

documentation and HASPs; Material Safety Data Sheets; Safety Assessments; Fire

Hazards Analyses; PRAs; Severe Accident Analysis; the Emergency and Hazardous

Chemical Inventory Forms; Change Analysis; Hazard Communication Program; Chemical

Hygiene Plan; Preliminary Hazards Analysis and the Activity Hazards Analysis.

Personnel preparing safety and health documents shall develop a single hazard analysis

to the extent practical which includes or references similar analyses in other safety and

health documents. This leads to the development of a consistent approach for each

element in the analysis. In addition, other sections or elements of safety and health

documents frequently mirror each other and can serve multiple functions (for example,

site wide information on emergency preparedness may be referenced to satisfy facility

specific requirements). Consistent input should be used or referenced in each of the

documents, such as the SARs, safety analyses, PSM documentation, emergency

planning documents, environmental assessment documentation, construction safety

program documents, or HASPs on the same facility.

Maintaining Safety and Health Documents

Safety and health documents shall accurately reflect the state of a facility and its

existing hazards. This can be accomplished in a number of ways (including boundary

analysis or annual updates). EM facilities typically undergo one or more life cycles

stages during the transition from operations, to deactivation and decommissioning,

and finally through environmental restoration. Waste cleanup operations and

construction projects are often dynamic activities. The potential nuclear and chemical

hazards related to a facility are initially identified to serve as the basis for classifying

that facility. As physical changes are anticipated or occur at a facility, the nature and

extent of those changes shall be evaluated and measures to mitigate new or revised
