Worker Responsibilities 124 Radiation and Risk Communications 125 Conduct of Radiological Operations 126 Improving Worker Awareness of Radiological Conditions 127 Critiques 128 Facility Modifications and Radiological Design Considerations Forward Superior, consistent performance is achieved when qualified personnel use approved procedures and management actively monitors the workplace and assesses ongoing activities. Such activities include, but are not limited to, operations, remediation, laboratory work, research and development and cleanup. Constant review and informed interest by senior management is required to achieve a superior Radiological Control Program.
Management leads by example.
What management does speaks louder than what management says. Management at all levels should emphasize the need for high standards for radiological control through direct communication, instruction and inspection of the work space. The DOE Operations Office Manager and the contractor senior site executive responsible for the site should have a basic knowledge of radiation, its effects and radiological control requirements. The DOE Operations Office Manager and the contractor senior site executive should also be familiar with the current radiological performance record. Key principles common in a successful, well-managed Radiological Control Program are provided in this Chapter.
