3310 Operational Safety Procedure Program
- A formal work control document, known as an Operational Safety Procedure (OSP), is developed at Jefferson Lab when work activities fall into one of the following categories:
- Cannot be conducted in a manner consistent with ES&H Manual requirements as written.
- Introduction of a new/anticipated/previously unrecognized hazard issue.
- Determined to have an unmitigated Risk Code (RC) of 3 or 4.
- OSPs are utilized by all organizations to document how the hazard(s) is to be mitigated and ensure the safety requirements are communicated to affected workers.
3310 Appendix T1 Operational Safety Procedure (OSP) and Temporary OSP Instructions
- This appendix outlines the steps used to develop, submit, review, approve, document, implement, close out, and renew or revise an Operational Safety Procedure (OSP) or Temporary Operational Safety Procedure (TOSP).
Operational Safety Procedure Form
- (See ES&H Manual Chapter 3310 Appendix T1 Operational Safety Procedure (OSP) and Temporary OSP Procedure for instructions.)
- Certain hazardous, recurring activities performed at Jefferson Lab are restricted and only undertaken when authorized by a temporary work permit. These work permits ensure that all hazards have been considered and associated risks have been acknowledged and mitigated.
3330 Stop Work and Re-Start for Safety Program
- Jefferson Lab considers no activity to be so urgent or important that its standards for environment, safety, or health (ES&H) may be compromised. Therefore, all individuals at Jefferson Lab have the responsibility, and authority, to stop work when conditions appear to pose a hazard. This stop-work and re-start program is provided to ensure the safety of individuals, equipment, and the environment.
3330 Appendix T1 Suspend Work for Safety Procedure
- Suspend work occurs when a hazard issue is discovered or anticipated that may endanger individuals, equipment, or the environment if the activity continues. Work is suspended until mitigation measures are implemented or a new, safer, work plan is developed.
3330 Appendix T2 Stop Work Order for Safety Procedure
- A Stop Work Order is initiated when an imminent danger has developed, a hazard issue is discovered and a Task Hazard Analysis (THA) reveals a post mitigated Risk Code >3, observed activity appears to represent imminent danger, or individuals cannot resolve a hazard issue in an acceptable manner.
3330 Appendix T3 Stop Work Order for Safety Worksheet
-
Instructions:
- The Worker’s supervisor/Subcontracting Officer’s Technical Representative (SOTR)/sponsor fills out this form. (Document the incident objectively as possible.)
- Review required by the individual identifying the Hazard/Imminent Danger.
- Distribute to those listed as soon as possible.
3330 Appendix T4 Work Re-Start Procedure
- Jefferson Lab provides this work re-start procedure to ensure the safety of individuals, equipment, and the environment after a work delay. Characteristics of each delay, including urgency, resources, timeliness of communications, etc, differ. This document provides the minimum requirements to ensure that safe, effective work planning has been enacted prior to work re-start.
