The guidance delineated within does not apply to emergency work or emergent situations where immediate actions to mitigate a concern or condition must be addressed. Emergent-situation work shall be limited to only that which is required to stabilize the situation; and, it shall be performed with the same mindset and rigor as any other high risk or high consequence work.
It is the policy of Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) to limit the duty hours of employees performing inherently hazardous work. This Policy aligns directly with our worker health and safety responsibilities and leadership commitment that
No activity is so urgent or important that we will compromise our safety, health, or environmental standards. -TJNAF ES&H Policy
In this context, safety extends beyond the workplace to include the wellbeing of our employees who drive home after working extended hours and members of the public who are sharing the same roads.
