## SOLAR

- Training packages in SOLAR are OK.
- They do not meet Center needs because they cannot be modified with Center specific information.
- “ Safety for Supervisors” and “VPP” could be useful to meet initial training requirements.
- SOLAR must be part of the overall training strategy at the Center level.

## VPP Implementation

- The Executive Safety Board approved the Plan on 3/15/01.
- Plan includes separate processes for Plum Brook Station and the Main Facility.
- PBS schedule is being revised due to support contractor concerns.
- Main Facility’s is on schedule for implementation.

## Goals for 2002

- Implement new Hazard Analysis Program and complete JHA.

- Office Safety
- Fall Protection
- Implement DuPont Report’s Suggestions
- Maintain VPP Implementation Schedule

## Mishap Prevention

## Fire Protection

- Due to Airport Expansion, GRC in now part of the City of Brookpark.
- GSO is working with a new Fire Department and developing new response procedures

## Successes

- Developed VPP Implementation Plan
- Established Safety Training Survey Process
- Recognized contributions of employees to the Safety Program throughout the year
- Increase awareness programs
- Center Director’s Safety Bulletin
- Published Improved Employee Safety Guide

## Lessons Learned

- Tasks need to be clearly defined and communicated to the personnel performing the work.
- Clutter and poor housekeeping will always cause problems.
- Changes to procedures should be published and communicated before they are implemented.
- Validate that repairs/upgrades are completed before re-staring operations.
- Ensure that control equipment is operational before beginning operations.

## Trends

- Over the past three years the primary personnel concern are falls.
- Presently GSO is evaluating training programs and other resources to address this concern.
- Some of the close calls are related to the Construction Safety Program. GSO is working with Construction Management to review and improve all processes to address this problem.
