BRIEF
Policy Summary
Berkeley Lab's Hazard Analysis & Work Authorization Policy ensures that all work is performed in a safe manner by:

...
- Work Planning and Control (WPC) activities in Activity Manager for work done by workers and affiliates
...
- Subcontractor Job Hazards Analysis (sJHA)
- Construction subcontractors' ES&H submittal package (Construction JHA)
...
- Temporary Work Authorization (TWA)
...
- Radiological Work Authorization (RWA)
- Facility Work Authorization
- Ensuring that the process and authorizations are documented prior to starting work

POLICY
A. Purpose
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's (Berkeley Lab's) Hazard Analysis & Work Authorization Policy ensures that all work is performed in a safe manner by:
- Ensuring that work planning is performed prior to starting work by:
- Defining the work scope
- Analyzing associated hazards
- Developing controls such that hazards are identified and mitigated
- Providing work authorization processes tailored to the type of work that ensure that controls, procedures, and resources are in place. These processes may include:
...
- Work Planning and Control (WPC) activities in Activity Manager for work done by workers and affiliates
...
- Subcontractor Job Hazards Analysis (sJHA)
- Construction subcontractors' ES&H submittal package (Construction JHA
...
- )
...
- Temporary Work Authorization (TWA)
...
- Radiological Work Authorization (RWA)
- Facility Work Authorization
- Ensuring that the process and authorizations are documented prior to starting work
B. Persons Affected
Berkeley Lab employees, visitors, affiliates, and subcontractors who perform work in technical areas or on construction sites
C. Exceptions
Those not performing hands-on work (i.e., those performing work tasks commonly performed by the public), who work 100% at a site not managed by the Berkeley Lab, or who work 100% of the time on the UC Berkeley Campus.
D. Policy Statement
- Safety of all operations at Berkeley Lab is managed according to the principles outlined in
...
- the Integrated Environment, Safety, & Health Management Plan: Integrated Safety Management (ISM) System (PUB-3140). Using these principles, line management is responsible for assuring safety of its operations by identifying work hazards and developing and implementing tailored controls prior to authorizing work to proceed. The EHS Division collaborates with line management to identify hazards and controls by:
- Identifying appropriate safety standards and requirements
- Providing institutional tools, procedures, and methods to facilitate control of hazards and compliance with requirements;
- Providing subject-matter-expert support
- Work authorization, a key principle in safe work planning, is a hazard review and management approval process designed to ensure that procedures, controls, and resources are in place before the work begins. All work at Berkeley Lab proceeds under authorization. Institutional authorization processes have been developed and tailored to facilitate line management authorization activities under a variety of administrative circumstances as follows:
- For Berkeley Lab employees and affiliates, line management authorization for routine work is granted using the
...
- Work Planning and Control (WPC) program documented in Chapter 6 of the ES&H Manual.
- Operations in a particular facility, under certain circumstances, may require authorization. Work Process B

- of the
...

...
- Planning and Control program provides general guidance on facility-based authorizations.
- The Temporary Work Authorization (TWA) process
- Planning and Control program provides general guidance on facility-based authorizations.
...
- Is not a permanent component of ongoing work
- Does not involving elevated hazards
- Is of a short-term duration (two weeks or less)
- Has a limited and clearly defined scope
- may be used only for laser as allowed in the Laser Safety program of the ES&H Manual.
- For non-construction subcontractors, the sJHA – Subcontractor Job Hazards Analysis (sJHA) program is used to ensure that all non-construction subcontractor work is performed safely and in accordance with Berkeley Lab requirements.
...
- For construction activities,
...
- Work Process C, Review Selected Subcontractors' EHS Submittal Package(s), of the Construction Safety program is used to ensure that construction subcontractors adequately evaluate hazards and implement safety controls.
...
- Radiological Work Authorization and Permit Programs are described in
...
- Section 21.6, Radiological Work Authorization and Permit Programs, of the Radiation Safety program.
