Stop Work Responsibility: Every Hanford site employee, regardless of employer, has the
responsibility and authority to stop work IMMEDIATELY, without fear of reprisal, when the
employee believes:

Conditions exist that pose a danger to the health and safety of workers or the public; or
2.
Conditions exist, that if allowed to continue, could adversely affect the safe operation of, or
could cause serious damage to, a facility; or
3.
Conditions exist, that if allowed to continue, could result in the release from the facility to the
environment of radiological or chemical effluents that exceed applicable regulatory
requirements or approvals.
Reporting Unsafe Conditions: Employees are expected to report any activity or condition which
he/she believes is unsafe. Notification should be made to the affected worker(s) and then to the
supervisor or designee at the location where the activity or condition exists. Following
notification, resolution of the issue resides with the responsible supervisor.
Right to a Safe Workplace: Any employee who reasonably believes that an activity or condition
is unsafe is expected to stop or refuse work without fear of reprisal by management or coworkers
and is entitled to have the safety concern addressed prior to participating in the work.
Stop Work Resolution: If you have a "stop work" issue that has not been resolved through
established channels, immediately contact your employer's Safety Representative or your Union
Safety Representative. Alternatively, you may contact the employer's Employee Concerns
Program or the DOE Employee Concerns Program.
