DOE-STD-6005-2001

1. SCOPE

This standard recommends industrial hygiene practices to support components of the Worker

Protection Program required by Department of Energy (DOE) Order 440.1A, "Worker Protection

Management for DOE Federal and Contractor Employees." Further, it is consistent with and supports

the principles and content of DOE P 450.4, "Safety Management System," and DOE P 450.5, "Line

Environment, Safety and Health Oversight" directives (i.e., Integrated Safety Management System,

ISMS).

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of this standard is to assist DOE and its contractors in the development, implementation,

and integration of recognized industrial hygiene practices within the overall worker protection

program that are consistent with the policy objectives and requirements of DOE O 440.1A and ISMS.

It gives practical guidance relating to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of

occupational health hazards at DOE facilities. These basic principles may also be appropriate and

useful for many transient activities like hazardous waste operations, environmental restoration

operations, or scientific research and development activities. However, the short, dynamic nature of

many of these activities may make traditional baselining and periodic reevaluations impractical;

Paragraph 7 of this standard provides additional guidance for these situations.

3. APPLICABILITY

This technical standard applies to all DOE elements except for the activities specifically excluded in

DOE O 440.1A, paragraph 3.c. Contractor compliance with this standard will be to the extent set

forth in a contract and is also subject to the exclusions of DOE O 440.1A, paragraph 3.c. This

standard also supports the industrial hygiene requirements specified in DOE O 5480.10A, "Contractor

Industrial Hygiene Program," where this directive has been incorporated into contracts.
