Assessment 
Results 
Greening of the 
Government (03-03) 
This assessment examined BSC implementation of the applicable requirements of 
Executive Order 13101, Greening the Government Through Waste Prevention, Recycling, 
and Federal Acquisition (63 FR 49643). Opportunities for improvement were identified with 
regard to the purchase of retread tires for use on BSC-owned vehicles, pollution 
prevention/energy efficiency goals and objectives, and coordination between BSC 
environmental compliance and design functions regarding specific pollution-prevention 
design-assessment roles and responsibilities 
Waste Shipment 
Review (03-04) 
Processes and documentation relating to YMP hazardous waste shipments to an off-site 
waste contractor were reviewed to verify compliance of this shipment with regulatory and 
contractual requirements. All processes associated with the shipments were found to be 
satisfactory and in compliance with hazardous/universal waste-transportation requirements 
Confined Space 
Program (03-06) 
The BSC confined-space program was evaluated for compliance with 29 CFR 1910.146 on 
permit-required confined spaces, program roles and responsibilities, entry and rescue 
requirements, and related training. As a result of this assessment, opportunities for 
improvement and procedural gaps were identified in the areas of self-assessment, rescue 
services, confined space classifications, inventories, postings, and delineation of 
roles/responsibilities 
ISMS Annual Review 
(03-07) 
This annual review of ISMS implementation identified noteworthy practices with regard to 
BSCs achievement of the Voluntary Protection Program Star Status, Site Project Controls 
planning efforts, Risk Management processes, and craft initiatives for identifying and 
resolving potential site-safety issues. Opportunities for improvement generally reflected a 
need to better define roles/responsibilities and reflect current work practices in Project 
procedures 
Powered Industrial 
Equipment (03-08) 
This assessment determined if powered industrial equipment used for site activities and 
warehouse operations is being operated and maintained in accordance with applicable 
regulatory safety requirements for this equipment. Overall, it concluded that procedural 
requirements regarding equipment operations, qualification, and training were established 
and fully implemented in meeting federal program requirements 
Emergency 
Management 
Program (03-10) 
BSCs emergency preparedness and response program was evaluated for compliance with 
contractor requirements in DOE Order 151.1A, Comprehensive Emergency Management 
System, and the DOE Emergency Management Plan. This assessment resulted in 
improved definition and understanding of program roles and responsibilities and improved 
practices for updating and notifying personnel of changes to the incident-notification and 
emergency-activation matrix 
Quality Assurance 
Program Applicability 
to the Radiation 
Protection Program 
(04-12) 
This was a DOE-requested special assessment to confirm compliance of Radiation 
Protection Program procedures with applicable requirements of the Quality Assurance 
Requirements Document Addendum 1, Integrated Safety Management Quality Assurance 
Program (DOE 2003). This review concluded that appropriate linkages exist between 
Radiation Protection Program procedures and applicable Integrated Safety Management 
Quality Assurance Program requirements through Project documents that are routinely 
implemented by the Radiation Program staff in support of those requirements
