3410 Appendix T2

Mitigation Requirements for  Hazard Issues involving Service and Construction Procurements

 

 

1.0          Purpose

 

Jefferson Lab’s Subcontracting Officer’s Technical Representatives (SOTR) use this procedure to:

 

2.0          Scope

 

The requirements of this appendix apply to all subcontracted services including construction in accordance with ES&H Manual Chapter 3410 ES&H Aspects of Procurements.

 

3.0          Responsibilities

 

All responsibilities are outlined in ES&H Manual Chapter 3410 ES&H Aspects of Procurements.

 

4.0          Process Steps

 

The SOTR completes the following process and uses the information to develop procurement documents which contain recognized mitigation hazard issue techniques required by Jefferson Lab.

 

Step 1:                    Determine the need of a Subcontractor Safety Plan (SSP)

The need for a subcontractor to provide a SSP is related to the scope, complexity, and duration of the work.  The determination is made by the SOTR after consultation with Procurement, the Division Safety Officer, and the ES&H professional for the activity.  Jefferson Lab reserves the right to request a SSP for any work performed by an outside vendor.  One is required if:

·       The value of the subcontract exceeds $20 million,

·       The subcontract will occur over multiple years with the value of services in any year exceeding $5 million, or

·       The services fall outside Jefferson Lab’s Final Safety Assessment Document

 

OR

Determine the need for hazard analysis (THA or equivalent) submittal:

·       All construction and on-site fabrication activities with an estimated cost of $100,000 and above, or

·       Any activity that has an anticipated Risk Code of >3 (see ES&H Manual Chapter 3210 Appendix T3 Risk Code Assignment), or as required for specialized work protection measures. 

 

Step 2:                    Identify Hazard Issues

·       Review ES&H Manual Chapter 2410 Appendix T1 Hazard Issues List.

·       Determine relevant hazard issues.  

 

Step 3:                    Establish Safety and Health Requirements

For all hazard issues recognized to be relevant:

·       Review the associated ES&H Manual Chapters and Appendices listed to determine the established hazard mitigation requirements.

·       Consult with the Subject Matter Experts to identify transaction specific ES&H requirements.

 

Step 4:                    Communicate Jefferson Lab’s Mitigation Requirements to Subcontractor

·       Document mitigation requirements for all relevant hazard issues within the procurement documents.

·       Ensure procurement documents have been reviewed by the relevant subject matter expert.

·       Review and approve any required subcontractor’s documentation (e.g.: safety plans, licenses, permits, training) prior to commencement of work.

·       Conduct a pre-work meeting with subcontractors to define Jefferson Lab’s expectations regarding ES&H work practices.

 

Text Box: NOTE:  The Material Identification and Traceability, Supplier Evaluation, and Pressure System Quality Procedures may apply to some acquisitions (e.g., materials for use in pressure vessel systems).  These documents are available in the QA/CI Manual.

 

Step 5:                    Document Feedback and Lessons Learned

·       Monitor the subcontractor’s performance to ensure safety and health of both Jefferson Lab personnel, subcontractor employees, and the public.

·       Notify ESH&Q professional if work results in any unmitigated hazard issues.

·       Provide comments to Procurement Services regarding the performance of vendors.

·       Document lessons learned utilizing Jefferson Lab Operating Experience Database.

 

Step 6:                    Additional ES&H Requirements for Procured Services and Construction:

Facilities Management and Logistics Specifications require that a subcontractor provide at least 24-hour advance notice of start of operations involving activities posing higher than normal hazard issue potential.  Such activities include:

·       Work at height

·       Excavation

·       Confined-space entry

·       Fire hazard work

·       Work on energized electrical equipment

·       Use of motorized cranes

·       Use of flammable or toxic materials inside buildings

 

5.0          Revision Summary

 

Revision 1 – Approved 03/10/09 – Re-write of document to reflect current laboratory operations.

Revision 2 – Approved 01/28/10 – Edited to address responsibility of requisitioners and SOTRs to review ES&H Manual Chapter 2410 Appendix T1 Hazard Issues List and associated documents to ensure Jefferson Lab safety requirements are addressed for material and subcontractor procurements.
