What is Integrated Safety Management?

Its a Framework to integrate safety and work It helps in protecting the Worker, Public, and

Environment

It is a common sense approach to Doing WorkSafely.


3/17


What is Integrated Safety Management?

Five ISM Core Functions1. Define the scope of work

2. Identify and analyze the hazards

3. Develop and implement hazard controls

4. Perform work safely within controls

5. Feedback and improvement

Integrated Safety Management Applicability

When is ISM Applicable?Always -- To All Work

Throughout the life cycle of research, design, construction,operations and maintenance

The ISM bottom line: All Work PlannedPre-Work Screening

Plan of the Day Meetings

Pre-Job BriefingsJob Site Walkthroughs

Experimental Safety Reviews (ESRs) / Work Permits


5/17


How is ISM Implemented?Through the application of:

Worker Safety and Health Program

Environmental Management System (EMS)

The 5 Core Functions (Institutional, Facility,

Activity Levels)Institutional Level WorkPlanning and establishing BNL

goals, objectives and operating/performance expectations

Facility Level WorkFacilities/Buildings operational boundary

activities (e.g. Facility Use Agreement, Safety Assessment Document)Activity Level WorkScience and technology machine

operations, basic and applied research and operations, maintenance,construction and Skill of the Worker activities


6/17


Skill of the Worker (SOW)

1. Work scope is prescreened bySupervisor/Manager.

2. Hazards are pre-identified. Workers are trained toidentify hazards. Boundaries are set for SOW

3. Hazard controls are pre-identified. Controls are inplace and/or implemented by qualified workers.

4. Work is authorized and supervisedbySupervisor/Manager. Interrupt/stop work if

conditions extend beyond training andexperience.

5. Verbal feedback, occasional written feedback.


7/17


ISM Awareness/Expectations1. What kind of work do you perform? Small Science & Technology (i.e. basic and applied research) Operations, maintenance, construction & Support (i.e. electrical,

carpentry, mechanical, grounds, operator, etc.) Large Science &Technology Machines (i.e. NSLS electrician,

RHIC operator, etc.)

Skill of the Worker Activities2. How do you define the scope of work? Job site walk downs, Pre-job briefings Work Plans, Technical Work Documents, Work Permits,

Radiological Work Permits, Experimental Safety Reviews

Work screening to determine if the activity falls within the Skill ofthe Worker

Plan of the Day meetings activity discussions and assignment ofwork activities

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for operations


8/17


ISM Awareness/Expectations3. How do you identify hazards associated with your

work? Pre-job planning meetings, pre-job walkthroughs, review of

procedure precautions

Experimental Safety Reviews (ESRs), Work permit, Standard

Operating Procedure (SOP) Training, Pre-Job Screening

Job risk assessment (JRA) / Facility Risk Assessments (FRA),Environmental Process Assessments, Job Specific WorkPermit reviews

Industrial Hygiene and Radiological Control surveys Facility Use Agreements (FUAs) operating boundary and

facility hazards

Job Hazard Analysis, Radiological Work Permits (RWPs)


9/17


10/17


ISM Awareness/Expectations6. How are you monitored for exposure to hazards? Facility Support Representatives, Radiological Control Technicians

(RCTs) and Safety & Health Service Representatives performmonitoring

Occupational Medicine Clinic (OMC) provides Medical Surveillance(e.g. lead, noise, blood borne pathogens, etc.)

TLDs, whole body counts, bioassay, etc7. What and/or who authorized you to perform this work? Manager/Supervisor verification that adequate preparations have been

completed so that work can be performed safely

Work Authorization by Supervisors and Managers approval by issuance

of ESRs, Work Permits, SOPs & RWPs Daily job assignments and pre-job briefings by supervisors/managers

Work screening to determine if the activity falls within the Skill of theWorker


11/17


ISM Awareness/Expectations8. How do you know you are trained and qualified to perform

this work? Assigned job training assessment (JTA) define technicalqualifications required

Receive notifications well in advance of qualifications expiring(Brookhaven Training Management System [BTMS])

Meeting the training requirements documented on ESRs, Work

permits, SOPs and RWPs. Supervisors, facility support and work control coordinators verify

qualifications before work is authorized to start9. How do you know what personal protective equipment (PPE)

is required to do your work? What types of PPE do you use? Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), ESR, Work Permit, Work Plan,

RWP, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), & through Training Safety glasses, safety shoes, double set of anti-contamination

clothing (Tyvek), hard hat, ear protection, etc. By speaking to your ES&H Coordinator, Industrial Hygiene Group or

your Facility Support Representative


12/17


ISM Awareness/Expectations10. Under what conditions are you authorized to stop

work? Radiological work that does not meet Laboratory

requirements or creates a threat of unplannedradiological exposures or releases

Imminent danger exists when you or a co-worker areexposed to a hazard that could result in injury, death, orwhen there is a significant risk of environmental orequipment damage, and when immediate action isrequired

Radiological Stop Work and Stop Work subject areas To issue a stop work order you must have been trained in stop

work procedures


13/17


ISM Awareness/Expectations11. When you are performing the job, what happens if

additional/new hazards are identified or the workscope changes? If imminent danger exist, issue stop work order

Inform supervisor of changes in work conditions or of new

hazards Consult with ES&H coordinator, Facility Support, Work ControlCoordinator/Manager and/or Subject Matter Expert to developand implement hazard controls (engineering, administrative,pre-work survey or screening)

Have an authorized person amend the work plan, permit, SOP,RWP, ESR etc.

Conduct pre-job briefing to inform personnel of new hazards,controls and/or training requirements

Signoff on and issue revised work authorization documents


14/17


ISM Awareness/Expectations12. What is your responsibility regarding personal and co-worker

safety, and where is it documented? Follow prescribed rules and procedures within your authority Implement Stop Work Order, if you are trained in Stop Work

Procedures R2A2, Performance Appraisal Job Training Assessments (JTAs)

13. How do you provide feedback about work performed, and towhom? (Give examples) Feedback is provided through post job reviews Documented on work permits Communicate improvements to processes to Principal Investigators,

Supervisors and managers SOPs, RWPs, work permits,experimental safety reviews (ESRs), and/or Technical WorkDocuments are revised/changed to reflect improved processes

Lessons Learned (LL) communications are developed and submittedto the BNL LL Coordinator

Verbal communications with Supervisors & Managers


15/17

ISM Responsibilities1. Know and support the message that All work is planned

2. Know how work is planned and controlled in your everyday workactivities

3. Be actively involved in identification, planning and improvementof work and work practices

4. Be familiar with your facility documentation and work

authorizations, including facility operating boundaries [FacilityUse Agreements (FUAs)], Job Risk Assessments (JRAs) andFacility Risk Assessments (FRAs) [i.e. how they are integrated inwork planning & control]

5. Display individual Attitude and Responsibility for Safetyi. Accept responsibility for safe performance

ii. Have a questioning attitude by challenging assumptionsiii. Consider potential adverse consequences of planned actionsiv. Assist each other in preventing unsafe acts or behaviors


16/17


ISM Responsibilities6. Even though an activity may seem safe, review a new task to

identify if activities go beyond the scope of work authorized, andthus require additional controls and authorizationsi. Take two minutes to verify that current activities have not crept

beyond the scope of work authorizedii. Always perform work within established controls and

authorizations

7. Stop and seek input from supervisors, managers, ES&HCoordinators, Building Managers or Facility SupportRepresentatives if conditions change and/or work extends beyondauthorizations

8. Consider the influence of human factors can have on yourdecision making

i. Am I cutting corners by rushing to meet a deadline?ii. Am I taking hazards/controls for granted because Ive done this

many times before?iii. Is my desire to succeed technically compromising sound

Environment, Safety and Health (ES&H) judgment?
