Construction Safety
The Office of Health, Safety and Security is responsible
for the development and maintenance of guidance, standards,
and orders pertaining to the management of safety and
health on DOE construction projects. These efforts are
undertaken with the assistance of the DOE Construction
Safety Advisory Committee, a topical committee chartered
under the DOE Technical Standards Program. DOE's construction
requirements are found in 10 CFR 851, Worker Safety
and Health Program, and DOE Order 440.1A, Worker Protection
Management for DOE Federal and Contractor Employees.
The Office of Health, Safety and Security works with
OSHA's Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and
Health (ACCSH) to develop draft regulatory language
on proposed OSHA rulemaking activities impacting DOE
operations. Office staff also represents DOE in the
ANSI A10 national consensus standards committee for
safety requirements for construction and demolition
operations.
