Hazard Analysis Excellence Document Outline

Table of Contents

Overview (CH2M Hill - Hanford)

• Define scope of work (WSRC)
  • Clearly defined scope of work
• Detailed Task Breakdown
• Tools, materials, equipment, personnel, procedures, etc.
• Location
  • Operational impact screening
  • Walk down with employee/SME involvement
• Work method
  • Develop Lines of Inquiry (assessment criteria) for this element

Defining tasks:

• The right task definition level is identified when it is known:
  • What tools or equipment are being used
  • How the tools or equipment are being used
  • Where the tools or equipment are being used
• The hazards cannot be identified until the tasks are identified

Identify Hazards (LLNL)

• Define a consistent method for hazard identification
• Apply rigor of hazard identification commensurate with risk. Provide a methodology to allow a graded approach to control the work in a safe and efficient manner
  • SME involvement
  • Work Authorization (facility hazards)
• Define and bound "what if" scenarios (contingency planning). Identify and analyze the hazards with the work and the work environment; including predictable undesirable events commensurate with the significance of the work activity.
• Training (Identify Trainees)
  • Facilitating
  • Human performance
  • Out of box thinking
  • BBS
• Classifying Hazards
• Hazard Pre-screening
• Complex vs. Simple
• How to identify risk
  • Attributes
• Operational impact screening
• Feed Back/Lessons Learned
  • Draw upon feed back/lessons learned from previous performances (in house and Complex wide)
• Develop Lines of Inquiry (assessment criteria) for this element

Hazard Controls (Fluor Hanford)

• Hierarchy of controls
  • Remove, Engineer, Administrate, PPE
• Focus on eliminating or reducing the hazards; for remaining hazards use a hierarchy of controls (i.e. engineered controls first, administrative controls second, and PPE last.)
• Apply rigor of hazard analysis and control assignment commensurate with risk. Provide a methodology to allow a graded approach to control the work in a safe and efficient manner
  • SME involvement
  • Work Authorization (facility hazards)
• Select controls and method of implementation to mitigate hazards
• Address evaluation of Conflicting Controls (e.g. IH vs. RadCon requirements)
• Evaluate introduction of new hazards while implementing controls
• How do we deal with Training and credit for Skill of Craft
  • Dealing with hazard analysis for day to day jobs
  • Skills based activities
  • Verbal work packages
  • Take credit for common sense - dark, trips, etc
• Marriage of Hazard Analysis to work instructions
  • Assignment of controls to the work step
  • How to determine which controls (conscience decision) need to be included in the work package
• Develop Lines of Inquiry (assessment criteria) for this element

Perform Work (Pantex)

• Worker analysis of jobs (pre job walk down) prior to work (BBS)
• How to deal with hazards due to unexpected conditions (Time Out)
• Considering current facility conditions and validity of hazard analysis prior to authorizing/commencing work
• How to ensure controls are in place prior to commencing work (either through method of implementation or validation)
• Develop Lines of Inquiry (assessment criteria) for this element

Feedback (WSRC)

• How to use feedback through the entire hazard analysis process
• Focus on improvement and draw upon effective practices
• Share amongst sites
• Success of controls
• How can job be done better
• How do we make the hazard analysis process better
• Develop Lines of Inquiry (assessment criteria) for this element

All (Y-12)

• Employee Involvement
• Documentation of hazard analysis
• Include hazard analysis as part of technical training
• Review/approval requirements (Graded approach)
• Develop Lines of Inquiry (assessment criteria) for this element
