Work Planning and Control Assessment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility Far Site
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Worker Safety and Health Assessments, within the independent Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA), conducted an assessment on August 26-29, 2019, of work planning and control (WP&C) at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Far Site, which is managed by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA). This assessment evaluated the effectiveness of the implementation of the integrated safety management (ISM) core functions (define scope of work, identify and analyze hazards, identify and implement controls, perform work safely within controls, and feedback and improvement) for activity-level work. This assessment also evaluated elements of the DOE safety requirements flowdown from FRA to its sub-tiered contractors.
