  1. EFCOG Safety Working Group (SWG) Status June 7, 2016 EFCOG Working Group Coordination Meeting Washington, DC John McDonald, SWG Chair

  2. SWG Purpose • Assist member companies operating DOE/NNSA projects in attaining and maintaining the highest levels of operational, regulatory, and safety performance • Promoting best practices • Facilitating the exchange of operating experiences, benchmarking, and information • Access to SMEs in activities such as review of DOE standards and policies • Identifying opportunities to save and/or avoid costs • Assisting member companies in implementing effective safety and regulatory programs • Arranging for training and awareness workshops to enhance the competency of SMEs

  3. SWG Subgroups/Task Groups* *excluding Engineering Processes, currently in transition to be included in the 2017 SWG AWP

  4. SWG Contractor Leadership

  5. SWG Special Emphasis Areas • Annual evaluation of SWG • High quality Annual Work Plan (AWP) • Strong subgroups with good participation • Integrate Engineering Processes Subgroup • NNSA/Lab participation • Contractor Assurance System (CAS) • CAS task team established • Meet with customer to determine expectations • Feedback from DOE to get clarification • Determine deliverables and schedule • Add deliverables to AWP

  6. SWG Assessment • DOE Liaison and POC support is excellent • Contractor participation is excellent • EFCOG sponsor participation is excellent • Objectives of the SWG are being accomplished • AWP progress is acceptable (On track for high percentage of task completion this FY) • Opportunities for Science and NNSA increasing • Subgroups are teaming and improving effectiveness • Leadership Opportunities • ISM SG Vice Chair • QA SG Vice Chair

  7. SWG Activity Recent Highlights • QA JSEP/MASL Supplier List • Safety culture assessment guide • Electrical safety guides and awareness material • Laser Worker training material • NTS Best Practices (2) • Assists Enforcement Coordinators in recognizing repetitive and programmatic non-compliances • How to clearly communicate the nature of a noncompliance, the context in which it existed, and the associated causes and corrective actions

  8. SWG Activity Summary • Subgroups: 7 • Task Groups: ~20 • FY16 AWP: ~60 deliverables • Estimated membership: ~600-900 • Subgroup meetings FY 2016: ~8 + task group meetings and calls
