Drivers for safety culture in waste processing

摘要

Based on experience in management positions within both DOE and U.S. Army environments it is clear that although contractual standards and requirements can be different, expectations for safe performance are very consistent. A review of four case studies, one from the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP), a DOE high-level waste (HLW) management facility located in New York State, one from a groundwater treatment plant at a DOE Legacy Management facility located in Tuba City, Arizona, and two from the Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (TOCDF), a U.S. Army chemical demilitarization facility located in Utah, demonstrates significant commonalities in the primary causes of significant events.
