Seven Guiding Principles1. Line Management Responsibility

Line managers and supervisors are responsible for the safe and efficient conduct of work to ensure protection of the public, the employees, and the environment.

2. Clear Roles and Responsibilities

Clear and unambiguous lines of authority and responsibility for ensuring safety are established and maintained at all organizational levels of the Company and the Supplier / Contractor’s organization

3. Competence Commensurate with Responsibilities

Supplier / Contractor’s selected personnel and subontractors are provided training and possess the experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary


Page 4 of

to discharge their responsibilities.


Page 5 of

4. Balanced Priorities

Resources are effectively allocated to address safety, programmatic, and operational considerations.

5. Identification of Safety Standards and Requirements

Safety requirements and applicable Standards are known, understood and implemented

6. Hazard Controls Tailored to Work Being Performed

Engineering and administrative controls to prevent and mitigate hazards are integrated and tailored to the work and associated hazards.

7. Operations Authorization

The conditions and requirements to be satisfied for operations to be initiated and conducted are clearly established and agreed-upon between the Company and the Contractor.

Core Functions1. Defining the Scope of Work

The first step in the ISMS process is defining the work scope, including translating the contract scope of work into a specific work plan, setting expectations, and prioritizing tasks and allocating resources.

2. Analyze the Hazards

The second step in the ISMS process is to identify foreseeable hazards, and identify planned protective measures. Address further hazards revealed by supplemental site information (e.g., site characterization data, as-built drawings) provided by FBP’s Project or Construction Manager.

Analyze the hazards identified, and ensure relevant and appropriate standards for mitigation of identified hazards are selected or established. As a minimum all contractual requirements through the implementation of various Company procedures and federal, state and local requirements shall be included if relevant to hazards analysis. Identify any additional commercial standards, and corporate best practices needed to analyze or mitigate hazards likely to be encountered.

3. Identify Controls to Mitigate or Prevent Hazards

The third step in the ISMS process is to mitigate hazards identified through work plans and procedures, permits, regulatory requirements, agreements, procedures, activity hazard assessments, and training. Work planning includes a step-by-step review of how the activity will be performed, which hazards are involved, and which controls are needed to eliminate or mitigate identified hazards. The types of engineered controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment used to mitigate or preclude all identified hazards are formally documented.


Page 6 of

4. Perform Work

To perform work safely, confirm the readiness of the team, verify that work control documents are approved, authorized by FBP facility or site management, and released for work. Monitor and oversee work during execution and ensure that effective systems for managing change are in place.

5. Feedback and Continuous Improvement

The Company Implements the requirements of DOE O 226.1, Implementation of Department of Energy Oversight Policy, Contractor Requirements Document, and utilize a variety of feedback and assessment methods to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of the ISMS processes and to assure continuous improvement in the application of ISMS. Examples of these methods include management self-assessments and independent assessments, employee meetings and end of task reviews to provide ongoing, formal feedback.

TLDs or PNADS must be worn while the worker is in the non-radiological areas of the controlled area. TLDs must be worn in the radiological areas of the controlled area. TLDs shall be worn on the outside of the worker's clothing (non-PPE), facing forward, between their waist and shoulders.

2.3.2 Badging-in at the access control point:

At the control point (access way from the uncontrolled area to the controlled area), workers will have their training verified to be current by security.

1. If the access control computer system is inoperable, training will be verified by visual inspection of the worker's qualification card; and

2. If a worker's training is insufficient or out of date, access to the controlled area will be denied.

2.3.3 Access to the Contamination Area

The following are standard requirements for access to the contamination area:

Page 41 of 51

Page 40 of


1. Workers will sign the appropriate RWP for entry into the work area, collect prescribed respiratory protection, go to the dressing area, and don the prescribed protective clothing;

2. If a worker's training or bioassay is insufficient or out of date, their access to the contamination area will be denied;

3. When wearing protective clothing such that no skin is exposed (e.g., full anti-Cs and a respirator), the worker's TLD must be worn underneath the protective clothing. When protective clothing requirements are such that skin is exposed (e.g., no respirator), the TLD must be worn on the outside of the anti-Cs;

4. Prior to entering the work area, workers must contact an RCT for assignment to a personal air sampler and testing of the airflow of powered air purifying respirators (if worn). The following conditions apply to wearers of personal air samplers:a. In areas where uranium is the isotope of concern, Rad Control may

require 20% of workers in each work group/crew (minimum of one worker) to wear a belt mounted personal air sampler. All other workers in the work crew must be signed-in on the paperwork under which their crew-partner received their personal air sampler. Workers in the work crew shall work in the general proximity of the other workers such that the assigned personal air sampler is representative of the air being breathed by all parties in the work crew;

b. When changing work areas, the workers must sign-in on the appropriate RWP and verify that their level of PPE is in compliance with the RWP. If the worker must change PPE to move to a new job area, the worker must exit the contamination area and go through the appropriate steps for re-entry, wearing the correct protective clothing. The worker will be reassigned to a different personal air sampler.

5. Personnel entry into the contamination area must be through the established control point.

2.3.4 Exiting the Contamination Area

Workers must always leave the work area and doff anti-Cs at the appropriate control point whenever their protective clothing is compromised i.e. damaged, wet, when non-water resistant anti-Cs get wet or workers sweat through their protective clothing. The Company will periodically monitor contamination levels on the outside of PPE. If contamination, as detected by an RCT, on the outside of a worker's work gloves is found to be greater than 1,000 counts per minute, the worker must change their work gloves. If this level of contamination is found on the outside of a single-layer of anti-Cs, workers must return to the control point to change their protective clothing.

1. The Contractor should estimate that a minimum of four workers per day will be sent through this routine. If 10% of the Contractor work force is greater than four workers, estimate that 10% of the workers will be sent through this routine daily.

2. The Contractor should recognize that high contamination areas and asbestos areas that are in contamination areas will require a double layer of anti-C’s. Prior to leaving any of these areas, workers will doff their outer set of anti-C's at the work area boundary and proceed directly to the appropriate change out


Page 41 of

facility/area. Doffing of the inner layer of anti-C's and personnel monitoring will be performed at the change facility.

3. The workers themselves may survey personal items out, using friskers provided at the control point.

4. Tools, lapel samplers, and equipment may only be surveyed out of a contamination area by an RCT. Workers requiring items of this nature to be removed from the contamination area must give the RCT notice of such a need at least one full work shift in advance.

5. Whole body personnel monitoring is required prior to exit from contamination areas.

6. Workers will sign out on the RWP upon exiting.

2.4 Radiological Limits and Respiratory Requirements

2.4.1 Personnel Monitoring Limits

When personnel are surveyed upon leaving a contamination or controlled area (including monitoring into the locker room or break area from the controlled area), the following limits shall be applied:

1. For leaving a uranium contamination area or a controlled area 5,000 dpm/100cm2 beta/gamma.

2. If a personnel monitoring instrument alarms, the worker must notify the Company. The Company will investigate to determine if there is long-lived contamination (e.g., uranium) on the worker's clothes or skin. If this is confirmed, the Company will begin the documentation of the incident and decontamination of the worker.

2.4.2 Airborne Radioactivity Limits

1. Airborne Radioactivity Areas will be posted around locations that exceed (or have the potential to exceed) 10% of the Derived Air Concentration (DAC) limits for the applicable isotopes. Engineering and/or administrative controls shall be implemented for these areas to control the impact on personnel and other project areas.

2. Within the work area, airborne radioactivity shall be controlled to less than 10% of the specific DAC for the isotope-of-concern, taking into account the protection factor (PF) of the respirator worn by workers in the area, plus ALARA. The PF's that apply to this project include the following:

a. PF = 1000 for powered air-purifying respirator;b. PF = 50 for full-face air-purifying respirator; andc. PF = 1 for no respirator or half-mask respirators.

Note: If the Contractor desires the use of other types of respirators on the job beyond those listed, the Contractor shall contact the Company to determine the respiratory protection factor of that respirator.

3. If general area airborne radioactivity exceeds 10% of the appropriate DAC (given the appropriate respiratory protection factor), then immediate radiological controls must be implemented at the source of generation to reduce


Page 42 of

airborne concentration. Upon written notification by the Company, the Contractor has one week to provide the Company with a written explanation of causes and corrective actions to prevent the reoccurrence of the situation.

4. In all cases, the Contractor shall control airborne emissions at the project boundaries such that 2% of the DAC for the appropriate radiological isotope-of- concern is not exceeded (based on a weekly average).

2.4.3 Contamination Limits

Equipment Release Cleaning Requirements

Requirements, including contamination limits for release of Contractor provided tools, equipment or material from containment or the building enclosure and the contamination area or for unrestricted release from the controlled area, consistent with DOE458.1 criteria.

2.4.4 Radiation Limits, Dose Limits, and Dosimetry Investigations

Radiation areas will be established for any area accessible to individuals in which radiation levels could result in an individual receiving a deep dose equivalent in excess of 5.0 mrem in one hour at 30 cm from the source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates.

1. High radiation areas will be established for any area accessible to individuals in which radiation levels could result in an individual receiving a deep dose equivalent in excess of 100 mrem in one hour at 30 cm from the source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates.

2. The Company Radiological Dosimetry performs investigations of unplanned external exposure results when the following levels are exceeded:

· 100 mrem to the whole body; and· 1,000 mrem to the skin or extremities.

NOTE: If any of these levels are exceeded, the Contractor shall be required to participate in an investigation into the cause of the exposure.

3. The Company Dosimetry performs internal dosimetry investigations with possible follow-up bioassay sampling when one of three conditions listed below occur:a. Air sampling indicates that a worker(s) may have been exposed to

levels above the action level for a particular radionuclide.

Note: Action levels are determined by internal dosimetry on a nuclide specific basis. Action levels are typically based on a worker's potential to receive ten mrem Committed Effective Dose (CED) in a one week period.

b. An incident or routine bioassay sample (urine) result is above the decision level for a particular radionuclide.

c. Worker is involved in a skin contamination event.4. When an internal dosimetry investigation is required, actions taken by

internal dosimetry are as follows:


Page 43 of

a. A preliminary internal dose estimate is performed based on air sampling and/or bioassay results.

b. An interview is performed with the worker and/or their supervisor to determine radiological working conditions and potential time of intake.

c. If preliminary dose estimates are greater than or equal to 100 mrem CED, a radiological work restriction is issued and a field investigation is initiated.

Note: A radiological work restriction may be issued by Dosimetry with approval of the Radiological Control Manager when preliminary dose estimates are less than 100 mrem to limit any further exposure that may prevent obtaining valid follow-up bioassay sampling and interfere with the dose evaluation.

d. Obtain follow-up bioassay sampling (urinalysis) to confirm initial results.

Note: The type and extent of follow-up bioassay sampling required is determined by internal dosimetry given the type of exposure, the radionuclide, the length of time since the exposure, and the preliminary dose estimate. For incident investigations involving potential exposure to uranium, a minimum of two samples is required.

e. Finalize internal dose estimates and notify worker or supervisor after follow-up sampling is completed.

2.5 Minimum Radiological Requirements for Personnel Access and Work within a controlled area or other Radiological Area.

2.5.1 Contractor personnel requiring access to the controlled areas or other radiological areas are to be trained radiological workers meeting requirements of 10 CFR 835 and DOE (approved the Company training programs are available). Workers are to participate in the Company DOELAP accredited personnel dosimetry and bioassay programs, and respiratory protection and medical requirements associated with the programs.

2.5.2 Project Personnel Radiological Monitoring and Surveillance Requirements

3. Daily recycle expired respirators in Company approved receptacles and discard used cartridges.

3.2 Respirator Reuse Criteria

3.2.1 The following procedures will outline the necessary steps that must be followed to properly sanitize and survey respirators (face piece and cartridges together) so that they may be safely reused. The steps in this procedure, and all release criteria, are for work performed in uranium contamination areas.

3.2.2 Definitions and Limits

C ont a min a tion or B u f fe r Z o n e R e spi r a tor S to r a ge A r e a - Located on the buffer table, these are the shelves where empty respirator bags are placed by workers before entering the contamination area, and where sanitized and bagged respirators are placed when coming out on break. The Company RCTs remove the respirators from these shelves and perform surveys on the respirators.

C l ea n S ide R e spi ra tor A re a - This shelving unit is similar to the Buffer Zone Storage Area, but only sanitized respirators that pass a radiological survey are placed here.

Note: All of the above-mentioned areas will be demarcated with signs or labels.

R e spi ra tor - The term respirator will refer to the combination of cartridges and facepiece for APRs and the entire assembly as donned for PAPRs and ASRs.

3.2.3 Respirator Reuse

For reuse of respirators from a uranium contamination area, direct frisk contamination surveys using a beta-gamma monitoring instrument (frisker), must indicate levels less than 100 cpm above background, and removable contamination surveys measured by field counting smears using a beta-gamma monitoring instrument (frisker), must indicate less than 100 cpm above background.

3.2.4 Other Restrictions to Reuse

1. A respirator shall only be used by the same worker for the duration of its approved service life.


Page 48 of

2. The wearer shall have the right to refuse reuse of a respirator or cartridge if the wearer feels that the steps outlined in this procedure do not produce an adequately clean, sanitary respirator in good operating condition. In addition, the wearer shall have the right to refuse reuse of a cartridge if the wearer feels that the breathing resistance of that cartridge is too high.

3. The Company Radiation Protection approval is required prior to reuse of respirators by personnel performing work in thorium regulated areas.

3.3 Technical Approach

3.3.1 Doffing and Frisking Respirator

After doffing the respirator leave it in an area designated by the Company Radiation Protection personnel. The Company Radiological Control Technician will survey the respirator and release it to the user, if it is not contaminated. The user can then sanitize and store the respirator, as directed.

3.3.2 Sanitizing the Respirator

1. Don a new pair of surgical, powder-free gloves. Use paper towels to dry the respirator if necessary and use a wet wipe designed to clean/sanitize respiratory protection equipment to sanitize the respirator. – Powder-free surgical gloves should be specified – residual powder could interfere with ensuring proper seal and cause skin irritation to affected employee if mask is reused.

2. Put the sanitized respirator into the bag with your name on it and use a twist tie or tape to close the bag.

3. Place the bagged respirator on the buffer zone table (or Buffer Zone Respirator Storage Area), dispose of all wet wipes, paper towels, and surgical gloves as radiological waste, and then monitor out of the area as usual.

Note: Do not stack respirators on top of each other. If any doubt exists about who a certain respirator face piece was used by, that respirator face piece will not be re-used. Discard the cartridges and place the face piece in the respirator drum.

3.3.3 Surveying Sanitized Respirators

A Company Radiological Control Technician will don clean surgical, powder-free gloves and get a bagged respirator from the Buffer Zone Storage Area. Remove the respirator from the bag and perform a smear of the entire respirator, including the cartridges, beginning with interior surfaces and then proceeding to the exterior surfaces. Survey the smear using a portable beta-gamma frisker. – Powder-free gloves should be specified for use in surveying respirators for reuse. Residual powder on respirator could interfere with proper seal and cause skin irritation to user.

Note: Oil treated cloth (i.e. masslin cloth or equivalent) shall not be used to smear the respirator. The residual oil left on the respirator may cause deterioration of the respirator parts.

1. Perform a direct frisk for fixed contamination of all accessible surfaces of


Page 49 of

the respirator using a portable beta-gamma frisker.2. Based on the survey results, perform the following:


Page 50 of

a. If fixed or loose contamination levels are greater than or equal to 100 cpm above background, remove the cartridges and place the face piece in the radiological contaminated respirator container.

b. If fixed or loose contamination levels are less than 100 cpm above background on the respirator and cartridges, place the respirator back in the bag and put in the designated clean side storage location.

3.3.4 Reusable Respirator Donning Sequence

1. Don all anti-Cs except outer gloves and hood, proceed to the Clean Side Respirator Storage Area, and get the re-usable respirator with your name on it.

2. Perform pre-donning inspection, don respirator, and perform positive and negative pressure tests. Note: Successful completion of both the positive and negative pressure tests required for respirator usage.

3. Don outer gloves and hood for re-entry into the area.

Safe Work Practices Pertinent to Hazards


PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING FOR HEAT STRESS

1 of 2

This appendix is intended to be used to provide work conditions that allow workers to maintain body temperatures less than or equal to 100.4F. Medically approved, fully acclimatized workers can work up 101.3º F, as necessary. Not all individuals are affected by heat in the same way. An individual's response to working in a hot environment depends on a variety of factors (i.e., level of physical fitness, age, gender, level of acclimatization, use of alcohol and drugs, etc.).

Physiological monitoring measures an individual's response to heat, determining their heat load and acts as a method of preventing overexposure. Therefore, physiological monitoring may be performed on individuals in any heat-related work environment and ideally when the water vapor barrier impermeable clothing is worn. The monitoring shall be performed by the worker or other qualified individual. This will allow personnel to adjust the work/rest regimen according to their individual tolerance for heat. This may result in a work period that exceeds those specified in Appendix A.

CAUTIONAny time symptoms of sudden fatigue, nausea, dizziness, or lightheadedness manifest themselves,

theindividual should discontinue work immediately and report for medical evaluation.

Physiological monitoring may result in a more restrictive or less restrictive work period for individuals with a low tolerance to heat stress. Individuals displaying a low tolerance to heat stress may need to receive further medical evaluation for fitness to work in hot environments. Physiological monitoring may be conducted using one or more of the following methods outlined on Pages 2 and 3 of this Appendix.

1. Hear t R a te Monito r i n g (OS&H can provide or recommend heart rate monitors and assist with monitoring)

A. Sustained Heart Rate Monitoring (e.g., measured during work with attached pulse monitor)

Determine sustained heart rate (several minutes) during work by using a pulse monitor. Discontinue any environmentally-induced or activity-induced heat stress for an individual when the sustained heart rate is greater than the value representing 180 beats per minute (bpm) minus the individual’s age in years. This limit only applies to healthy adults with assessed normal cardiac performance. Workers taking prescribed medications should be provided with specific recommendations by the Occupational

NOTEIf the worker’s pre-work resting heart rate is greater than 110 bpm, he cannot continue

working in ahot environment. (Re-measurement of the resting heart rate can be made if there is

any question aboutthe representativeness of the initial measurement.)

Physician.

B. Recovery Heart Rate Monitoring (measured on rest break approx. one minute following work)

i. A pulse monitor should be used determine the recovery heart rate following work by counting the radial pulse (e.g., wrist) during a 30 second period as soon as possible after going on break (approximately 1 minute). Discontinue exposure to heat stress for a full rest period if the recovery heart rate is above 110 bpm.


PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING FOR HEAT STRESS

1 of 2

ii. If the recovery heart rate exceeds 110 beats per minute, then shorten the next work cycle by 1/3 and keep the rest period the same. For example, if the initial work/rest cycle was 45/15 minutes, shorten it to 30/15 minutes.

iii. If the recovery heart rate still exceeds 110 beats per minute at the beginning of the next rest period, shorten following work cycle by 1/3 and keep the rest period the same. Continuing the previous example, shorten the next work/rest cycle to 20/15 minutes.

iv. Continue this process until the recovery heart rate is less than 110 bpm at approximately one minute into the break period. The individual should cease work and report for medical evaluation immediately upon any symptoms of heat illness.

C. Heat stress-related activities in hot environments shall be discontinued when an individual’s recovery heart rate exceeds 110 bpm or sustained heart rate is greater than Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) calculated as follows: M H R = 180 - N i (where Ni is the individual’s age in years)

D. Heart rate monitoring should be conducted after each 15- minute work period unless performed continuously using pulse monitors.

E. Length of rest periods times are not dictated by this procedure, but need to long enough to allow heart rates to return to pre-start levels.

2. B ody T e m pe r a t u r e ( W o r k / R est P e r i od) (OS&H can provide or recommend ear thermometers)

NOTEIF measuring body temperature using an ear thermometer, THEN, to ensure an accuratetemperature reading is taken, ensure the following requirements are met before taking a reading:

· Thermometer window is clean· Thermometer is aligned toward the Tympanic Membrane (TM)· Subject’s ear canal is relatively clear

A. Measure body temperature at any time during the work period or as soon as possible in the rest period. Ear temperature monitors with disposal covers are available through OS&H. The body temperature shall not be allowed to stay over 100.4º F (101.3ºF, if medically approved and fully acclimatized).i. If temperature exceeds 100.4ºF (101.3oF), shorten next work cycle by 1/3 and keep

rest period the same.

ii. If temperature exceeds 100.4ºF (101.3oF) at the beginning of the next rest period, shorten the next work cycle by 1/3 and keep rest period the same.

iii. Continue until body temperature is at or below 100.4º F (101.3oF) at the beginning of the next rest period.

B. Temperature monitoring should be conducted approximately every 15 minutes when the Action Limits of Appendix A are exceeded or when workers self-determine that monitoring is appropriate.

Length of rest periods times are not dictated by this procedure, but need to be long enough to allow body temperatures to return to pre-start levels
