I submit that we must look for ways to enhance work planning across all sectors. The point I wish to stress in Figure 2 is the need to define clearly through work planning the total set of controls that pertain to hazardous activities and to define clearly the responsibilities delegated for their development, implementation, and compliance oversight. I submit to you that each of you can find that sector of safety planning where you fit. Our challenge is to bring safety planning, as we have fractionated it, into a more ordered and cohesive state. Sites represent a locale or setting for work.
Facilities provide the means for accomplishing work.
I am not alone in this observation. A number of DOE contractors have shown in their presentations on Integrated Safety Management a clear recognition of this relationship and are structuring their safety management programs accordingly. TA-55 and CMR Facilities at Los Alamos are good examples that embody such an approach. I have selected a number of view graphs from presentations made to the Board to illustrate. This resultant which is in effect the sum of controls and measures within which the defined work is to be conducted constitutes the Safety Envelope.
