Safe Workplace and Safety News

The Department of Energy publishes a "Project Hanford Lessons Learned" web site that provides information about safety incidents and the lessons learned from them. These can serve as a source of information to help you identify safety problems before there is an incident. You can take advantage of the lessons learned by the DOE and apply their experience to your facility.

Here are links to two examples:

Use of Approval Designators for Transportation and Packaging Activities

In preparing procedures and work packages involving packaging and transportation (T&P) activities, FH Projects and Facilities are not assigning technical reviewer designations in accordance with HNF-PRO-8635 “Review and Approval of Technical Documents” and/or complying with the USQ T process detailed in HNF-PRO-15438
"Unreviewed Safety Question Process for Transportation".

Deficient Supplied Air Respirator Check Valves Identified

An employee at the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project in Idaho identified deficient check valves when preparing to install replacement valves on a PremAire® supplied air respirator unit. The units were being configured to allow a dual-air supply for a new application. The deficient check valves had stamped arrows on them indicating improper air-flow direction/alignment used for installation.
