** ****Program Inter-Relationships **

## 1. Discuss: Suitability of the current OH&S policy

- Team revised the Policy
- Line Organizations reviewed the changes
- BNL adopted the Policy
- Distributed to line organizations

**Issues:**
**1a. Communication of the new Policy may be less than adequate across the site**
**Phase 3 workers did very well in their knowledge on their registration audit.  **
**1b. Replacement of postings of the old Policy with the new revision has not been verified**

**1. Discuss: Suitability of the current OH&S policy**

- See Policy and Handout pages 6 - 7

**Notes:**
OHSAS 18001 is organized into 6 major sections.  This presentation will be organized to address the five sections which have requirements.  The first OHSAS 18001 Section with requirements is Section 4.2  OH&S Policy.

BNL revised the site level ESSH Policy within 2006.  

These are current issues that may exists in line organizations:
Tier 1 Inspection is being used to find “out-of-date” versions and to replace them.
Workers in Phase 3 organizations need to be able to show NSF Auditors how to find the Policy- physically posted or on the web.

## 1. Discuss: Suitability of the current OH&S policy

- Be appropriate to the nature and scale of the organization’s **OSH risks**;
- Include a commitment to **continual improvement**;
- Include a commitment to at least comply with current applicable OSH **legislation and with other requirements** to which the organization subscribes;
- Be **documented, implemented, and maintained**;
- Be **communicated** to all employees with the intent that employees are made aware of their individual OSH obligations;
- Be **available** to interested parties; and
- Be **reviewed periodically** to ensure that it remains relevant and appropriate to the organization.

**1c. Does the new revised POLICY meet or improve on these OHSAS 18001 requirements ?**

**1. Discuss: Suitability of the current OH&S policy**

**Notes:**
OHSAS 4.2 requires that the Policy shall:
Be appropriate to the nature and scale of the organization’s OH&S risks;
Include a commitment to continual improvement
Include a commitment to at least comply with current applicable OH&S legislation and with other requirements to which the organization subscribes;
Be documented, implemented, and maintained;
Be communicated to all employees with the intent that employees are made aware of their individual OH&S obligations;
Be available to interested parties; and
Be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains relevant and appropriate to the organization. 

Does the new revision meet or improve on meeting these OHSAS 18001 requirements ?

## 2. Discuss: The adequacy of current hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control processes 

- Risk Assessment
- Job Risk Assessments
- Facility Risk Assessments
- ISM Initiatives

**ISSUE **(from line organization Management Reviews)** **
**2a. Some organizations want the site level JRAs to be maintained only at the site level (i.e. consolidate line organization versions)**
**2b.  Create a sitewide “Natural Hazards” FRA **
**2c. Fire System: Inspection Test and Maintenance: Life safety (egress) features of older facilities – legacy**

- See Handout pages 8 - 13

## 3. Discuss: Recorded instances of procedures not being effective

- NSF Registration Audit:  SHSD Industrial Hygiene procedure was not tracking Noise & Hearing Conservation legal requirements.
- Internal audit- Safety Engineering- legal requirement management process not being  conducted or documented.
- Arc Flash incident

- Issues:
**3a. Record of Decisions are not uniformly documented for all OSH disciplines.** (Legacy, resource limited)
**3b. Safety Engineering and Industrial Hygiene *****requirements management***** procedures in-place but lack resources** for timely review of regulations & consensus standards  (160 +) for impact on OSH program.

**3. Discuss: Recorded instances of procedures not being effective**

- See Handout pages 14 - 15

**Notes:**
EMS has an established and funded process for Requirement Management.
OSH topics requirement management is not as well developed. 
SHSD’s Industrial Hygiene has a procedure in place (IH50700) that has been  in place since 07/2004 that works.  The process was being conducted in 2004 and 2005 (3 quarters) , but has been done in 2006 with the re-deployment of the IH SME to line organizations as Safety & Health Representatives.  
SHSD’s Safety Engineering Group has a newly adopted (10/2006) procedure (SE50700) that mimics the IH Group.  It has not conducted yet.
Fire Protection has a system in place via list serves but it is not documented.
Etiologic Agents is not documented.
Radiological Controls has a system in place via list serves but it is not documented.

## Issues that require continued focus/emphasis:

Industrial Hygiene Personnel Exposure Monitoring
Safety Engineering and Industrial Hygiene Program Administrators
ESH support in small organizations, CFN, NSLS II
Nationally Recognized Testing Lab – Authority Having Jurisdiction
Fire Protection 
Emergency Management 
Emergency Response

**Industrial Hygiene Personnel Exposure Monitoring**
**Safety Engineering and Industrial Hygiene Program Administrators**
**ESH support in small organizations, CFN, NSLS II**
**Nationally Recognized Testing Lab – Authority Having Jurisdiction**
**Fire Protection **
**Emergency Management **
**Emergency Response**

**4. Discuss: Adequacy of resources (financial, personnel, material)**

- Issue:
**4a. Support for Safety Engineering and Industrial Hygiene areas is under weighted compared to other ESH&Q programs: **
-  75 Programs covered by 11.5 SME  (**6/1** ratio)

- See Handout pages 16 - 23

## Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory Approval (NRTL) of Electrical Equipment 
Applies to  equipment built, acquired, or brought onto the BNL site and connected to a source of electrical power.
Electrical equipment is inspected to ensure it is free from reasonably foreseeable risks due to electrical hazards.  
Electrical Equipment Inspections (EEI) determines that equipment has/is: 
Enclosed energized parts, 
Bonded and grounded, 
Afforded adequate over-current protection. 
Can not cause a shock, burn or fire if used properly.

**New process developed, implemented and assessed in 2006**
**Safety reporting hotline**
**S2 program**
**OMC Clinic**
**DOE Hotline**
**RAR  **

- See Handout pages 24 - 30

**No Issues**

## Issues

6a. BNL needs more OSH SME field deployed (Feedback from ESH Coordinators).

6b. ESH Coordinators need additional OSH training (Feedback from ESH Coordinators).

6c. Fire Hazard Assessments: 56 facilities; 3 complete; 15 in-progress; need Funding commitment to complete.
