- This program provides the minimum requirements for chemicals used at Jefferson Lab. Additional control measures, up to and including a work control document, may be required during certain operations, or for work within specific areas, as identified by a Task Hazard Analysis (THA).

- Jefferson Lab’s Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program provides guidance to minimize employee exposure to hazards issues such as cutting, grinding, drilling, sharp edges, pinch, and temperature extremes. PPE is used to supplement engineering and administrative controls. This program provides general information concerning the most common PPE provided to employees at Jefferson Lab.
- Jefferson Lab has established this comprehensive Respiratory Protection Program to ensure individuals having potential to be exposed to workplace air contaminants are provided adequate respiratory protection. Using less harmful materials is the preferred method for mitigating this type of hazard; however, when respiratory protection is necessary the responsibilities and procedures included within this program are followed
- High noise is a recognized hazard issue at Jefferson Lab. This hearing conservation program has been established to ensure affected areas are identified, appropriate monitoring is established, and individuals are informed of the dangers and adequately protected.
- This chapter defines Jefferson Lab’s Unbound Engineered Nanoparticle (NP) Program consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 851 and DOE O 456.1.
- This appendix applies to hazardous material in quantities at or below “Allowable On-site Transfer Limits” (as noted below). On-site transport in quantities exceeding these limits required a work control document; or Only Jefferson Lab’s Industrial Hygiene Department, Radiation Control Department, or Shipping and Receiving Department can authorize off-site hazardous material shipment of any quantity.
- Jefferson Lab recognizes that the most effective mitigation technique for thermal stress conditions is to wear appropriate clothing, and personal protective equipment. Work planning at Jefferson Lab, particularly during the summer months, considers ambient temperature and implements mitigation techniques as required.
- Lead is considered to be a chemical. It is therefore subject to the requirements stated in ES&H Manual Chapter 6610 Chemical Hygiene Program and its associated appendices. This document, and its associated appendices, defines Jefferson Lab’s additional requirements related to lead.
- The use of less harmful materials is the preferred method to mitigate the hazards associated with lead. However, when lead must be used the responsibilities and procedures included within this program are followed.
- This chapter contains information on the control and handling of beryllium articles.
- Silica, when dispersed in air (dust particulates), poses a serious health hazard. This program addresses techniques for mitigating silica exposure for activities that occurs at Jefferson Lab including, but not limited to grinding, cutting, mixing, and drilling of concrete, brick, grout, and rock; miscellaneous sand and gravel operations; and removal of furnace insulation.
