INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE
Volume 2 presents a description of the chemical management practices as individually developed at several Department of Energy (DOE) facilities. These are formatted according to the order presented in Volume 1 of the Handbook, published by the Chemical Safety Topical Committee (CSTC) in November 2000. Electronic inventory tracking, automated Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) systems, and Hazard Communication training are common among all Sites. Pantex, because of their explosive manufacturing processes, uses the analysis dictated by the OSHA Process Safety Management Standard more than most sites.
The CSTC, a topical committee sponsored by the DOE and the Energy Federal Contractors Group (EFCOG) Chemical Safety Subgroup, recognized the need for a Chemical Management Handbook during a joint DOE – EFCOG Chemical Management Workshop. A working group composed of both DOE and contractor members developed the Handbook. During the early stages of development the working group decided to separate the Handbook into two volumes — the first being a discussion of the principles of chemical management; the second, a collection of chemical management practices in use across DOE. Chemical management is only one part of an Integrated Safety Management system. Sites have voluntarily submitted their chemical management plans for inclusion. None of these examples should be interpreted as either a comprehensive Chemical Management Program (CMP) or the most current CMP. Readers are encouraged to contact the relevant DOE site for the latest CMP.
Volume 2 is meant to be a living document (i.e., additional and modified practices can be added to this document). As with Volume 1, this document and any revisions will be posted on the Office of Environment, Safety and Health (EH) Chemical Management Web Site at
