This handbook is a companion document to the Enforcement Process Overview (EPO).

The Safety and Security Enforcement Coordinator Handbook is intended to provide Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE contractor enforcement coordinators with information to aid their respective organizations in implementing effective regulatory noncompliance monitoring and reporting programs.  In addition to providing specific expectations for reporting noncompliances to the DOE, the document provides guidance on roles and responsibilities and contractor assessment and corrective action management processes that the Office of Enforcement has observed to be effective mechanisms for reducing the likelihood that a contractor will be subject to an enforcement investigation.
