Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6601530
The approach taken toward the development of environmental, safety, and health (ES and H) management systems that provide assurance of performance has involved four overlapping phases: planning, testing, implementation studies, and information dissemination. In order to promote better understanding of ES and H Assurance Program concepts as a part of the final information dissemination phase of the development program, 13 of the 15 guidance documents used in successful implementation tests of ES and H Assurance management concepts and a discussion of the ES and H Assurance Program Standard have been combined in two volumes. This is the first of this 2-volume set. Chapter titles include: introduction; a discussion of the ES and H Assurance Program Standard; characteristics of ES and H Assurance Programs; a model plan for institutional ES and H Assurance Programs; a model plan for ES and H staff review activities; a model plan for ES and H staff audits and appraisals; a model plan for institutional emergency response programs; and a model plan for institutional accident investigations. Nine appendixes are included. (JGB)
