Independent Assessment of Work Planning and Control for Liquid Waste Program Subcontractors at the Savannah River Site
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted an independent assessment of work planning and control (WP&C) for Savannah River Mission Completion, LLC (SRMC) liquid waste program subcontractors at the Savannah River Site (SRS) from July to September 2024. This assessment was conducted at the request of the DOE Savannah River Operations Office (DOE-SR) Manager. The assessment evaluated SRMC’s flowdown of DOE safety and health requirements to its subcontractors performing work within the liquid waste facilities, the effectiveness of SRMC’s contractor assurance system in monitoring the work of subcontractors within established WP&C processes, and the implementation of the integrated safety management core functions: define the scope of work, identify and analyze hazards, develop and implement hazard controls, perform work safely within controls, and provide feedback and make improvements. The assessment also included the evaluation of Federal oversight conducted by DOE-SR.
