Worker Safety & Health Program (WSHP)
SLAC Implementation
DOE Information
In accordance with the required written Worker Safety and
Health Plan [in progress], SLAC may be evaluated for compliance by the DOE
Office of Enforcement.
Regulatory Details
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 851 (10 CFR
851), Worker Safety and Health Program, requires all Department
of Energy (DOE) sites to establish a worker protection program
that will reduce or prevent the potential for injuries,
illnesses, and accidental losses by providing workers with a
safe and healthful workplace. SLAC has developed the Worker
Safety & Health Plan (WSHP) to comply with 10 CFR 851. This plan
applies to all non-radiological safety and health issues in the
design, construction, operation, maintenance, decontamination
and decommissioning, research and development, and restoration
activities at SLAC’s facilities. The WSHP does not address
radiological or environmental hazards associated with DOE
activities, as these issues are outside of the scope of the Rule
and are covered under other DOE regulations or Orders.
The final Rule was published in the Federal Register on
February 9, 2006 and became effective February 7, 2007. The date
of submission of the WSHP by all DOE contractors, including
SLAC, is February 26, 2007. The DOE has until May 25, 2007 to
approve the WSHP, at which time the entire program becomes
effective.
