Special Projects Division, quarterly report of progress, 1 July-30 September 1981

Development of the 15 guidance documents intended to assist in the implementation of Environmental, Safety, and Health (ES and H) Assurance Programs was essentially completed. The ES and H Assurance Pilot Project, intended as a field test of the ES and H Assurance Program, has progressed to the point where some of the working level plans have been approved for implementation. A program audit was conducted on one of the participating organizations with highly satisfactory results. Efforts towards publicizing the ES and H Assurance Approach continued this quarter through briefings and/or discussions with the Executive Committee of the Industrial Division of the National Safety Council, Deere and Company, Rohm and Haas, Inc., and Western Electric Corporation. Interest is very strong in these groups and, in some cases, the equivalents of some portions of the approach are already being implemented. The design of the information system and the document describing the performance of safety analyses and their reviews for DOE were completed
