Title: SHAMU: A better way of creating, maintaining, and complying with your safety documentation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:639752

The Safety Hazard Assessment and Management Utility (SHAMU) is an Intranet based Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Co. (LMITCO) compliance reengineering initiative that, when fully implemented, will significantly reduce the cost and increase the effectiveness of creating, maintaining, and managing facility safety information at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). This report discusses the main elements of this initiative. The first element is the development and demonstration of a method of linking, tracking, and managing important and common information across a large number of facility documents using existing electronic document technologies. A pilot demonstration of this element has been developed by converting the safety documents for a facility at the INEEL to a portable document format (PDF) that is easily searched and linked to other documents or information. A guide has been written that describes how this process may be implemented for other facilities. The second element involves the identification and preparation of standardized information that may be used or referenced by most all LMITCO facilities with little or no modification and the development of an electronic database of technical information. The goal of this element is to reduce the cost and time required to develop facility safety documents, such as safety analysis reports (SARs) and to make information and analyses more consistent within LMITCO. In support of this goal LMITCO has developed eleven standardized SAR chapters and several safety analysis methods; has developed templates for health and safety plans, demolition plans and other safety documents; and has established a database of technical information.
