Program Objective
Implement Integrated Safety Management (ISM) at LBNL via an activity-based work planning and control process and its supporting computer system. This effort will also complete actions resulting from the 2009 HSS Environment Health and Safety Audit.
Deliverables
- A single Integrated Safety Management-based process for defining work activities, identifyinghazards and assigning controls
- A standard process for recording worker assignments to activities, assessing worker competency to perform work safely, and recording individual worker authorizations
- A computer system that guides Activity Leads through the process of creating work activities, assigning workers and establishing worker competency, and managing work activity change and renewal
- Pilot rollouts of the new processes and system to validate and refine the process and system, followed by general introduction across the Lab
Key Technical Features:
- Easy-to-use user interface that communicates the right information at the right time, featuring intuitive buttons and icons, wizards that guide the user through complex processes and a personalized view of information customized to the user’s role and needs
- Group collaboration feature that enables a “crowd” of Activity Leads and Safety Subject Matter Experts to review and modify high-risk activity descriptions and controls without e-mail or face-to-face meetings
- Mobile device accessibility to key workplace safety information
- Workflow-based processing that moves activity development and approval through the process smoothly, coordinating required EHSS reviews, supplemental authorizations and line management approvals in the right order
- Hazard identification user experience based on the common online shopping model, using the Integrated Hazard Analysis library’s hazard data as the source for text and visual descriptions
- Control prescription that matches standardized controls to the activity’s hazards, with customization capabilities to refine and extend controls for unique activity needs
- Integration with standard Lab data sources for information about people and locations, and to supply information for exposure assessment, medical surveillance and co-located hazards
