Office of Corporate Safety Programs

• Type A and Type B Accident Investigations (AI): A primary mission of the Department of Energy (DOE) is to manage its programs and operate its facilities with a high level of safety. The DOE accident investigation process has been designed to meet Departmental safety objectives by responding to accidents in a highly coordinated, timely, and focused manner. Preventing accidents and reducing lost time and fatalities due to accidents are line management responsibilities. However, the DOE Accident Investigation Program provides useful and timely information to managers within the Complex in an efficient manner so they can use the information to improve their programs.

• Analytical Services Program (ASP): This corporate program provides for the minimization of audit redundancies and the standardization of auditing methodology and procedures performed annually of analytical environmental laboratories, and waste treatment storage and disposal facilities; quality assurance proficiency testing and evaluation for domestic and international laboratories; and the development of software toolkits and training to assist field element sites in the planning and design of environmental sampling and decision-making. Contact: George Detsis
   
• Corrective Action Management Program (CAMP): Outlines the purpose, background, process, requirements, and guidance for addressing/resolving findings identified during Type A accident investigations, HSS independent oversight assessments, Office of Management aviation management and safety assessments, and other sources as directed by the Secretary or Deputy Secretary. The website also shares information regarding the development, tracking, reporting, implementation, and effectiveness of corrective actions for these findings. Contact: Larry McCabe
   
• DOE Laboratory Accreditation Program (DOELAP): An overarching corporate resource to ensure that DOE is assessing the potential for radiological contamination of workers. The website includes information regarding Personnel Dosimetry Program Accreditation, the Radiobioassay Laboratory Accreditation Program, an online Library; DOELAP Assessors and Oversight Board listings, and DOELAP training meetings/conferences. Contact: Steve Zobel
   
• Federal Employee Occupational Safety & Health Program (FEOSH) The FEOSH Web Site provides an on-line library of useful tools to support line management's implementation of their FEOSH programs. The FEOSH site contains pertinent information, guidance, technical expertise, and program evaluation materials. The goal is to successfully promote open communication and effective partnerships among management, employees, and professionals for implementing FEOSH Programs. Contact: David Smith
   
• Fire Protection Database Reports: In 2007, a new fire protection reporting system was designed by the Office of Corporate Safety Analysis (HS-30) and implemented across the DOE complex. This new process allows sites to submit their fire protection information on a real-time basis versus the submittal of an annual fire protection summary as was provided in the past. The HS-23 website contains annual fire protection program summary reports from CY2008 to the present. Click to read the CY2008 report and CY2009 report. Contact: Larry.McCabe@hq.doe.gov.
   
  The older archived FP reports from CY1999 through CY2007 will remain under HS-21 and current content owner Jim Bisker.
   
• Human Performance Center (HPC) Human Performance Improvement (HPI) is about reducing errors and managing defenses to prevent significant events. The application of HPI Principles in numerous organizations (medical, nuclear, chemical, etc.) has resulted in improved safety, quality, and productivity. The HPC exists as a resource for the Department's headquarters and field employees and contractors to implement and enhance HPI initiatives. This web site is designed to share information on the purpose, process, and results of HPI which will assist in implementation of practices to improve safety, quality, and productivity. Please contact Earl Carnes or HPC Feedback/Comments if you have any questions.
