Session 14 - Roundtable: Maintaining World Class Safety During Times of Change
|
|
This roundtable will focus on sharing lessons learned in improving worker safety. Topics will include implementing the new requirements stipulated in 10CFR851, the US DOE's Worker Safety and Health Program; sharing US DOE and contractor experience with the mentoring that is conducted as part of US DOE's Voluntary Protection Program; and an in-depth exchange of ideas on electrical security index developed by EFCOG. The new contract awards across the DOE Complex have required seamless - and often short - handoffs between contractors. While discrete deliverables with accompanying schedules are relatively easy to identify and transition, safety can be elusive, yet essential aspect, that could easily be sacrificed without the proper attention. Change causes stress and uncertainty, which are often displayed as inattention to detail and can result in on-th-job injuries. Contractors who have been on both the giving and receiving ends of these transitions will share their experiences in keeping workers focused on safety as they weather the changes associated with contract transitions. Roundtable experts and participants will include US DOE and DOE contractor staff.
