General Comments on Work in the STAR Facility

• Work Planning
• N.B. All work undergoes Work Planning. Most of
  this is whats known as Worker Planned work.
  Before you start on a task think about what
  youre going to do, how youre going to do it,
  what the hazards are, and how youll minimize
  these possible Hazards.
• As a General rule, Bob or Bill should always
  know who will be working in the Facility, and on
  what, every week. Please make every effort to
  keep us informed.
• Safety
• - All work should be performed in compliance
  with Safety rules. If there is a conflict between
  schedule and Safety, Safety must take precedence
  in all cases.
• - If anyone is ever in doubt about how to
  perform a task, please contact Bob, Bill, or
  both.
• - In the course of accomplishing your tasks
  throughout the Shutdown, if anything becomes
  apparent on how we could work safer, please bring
  them to Bill or Bobs attention.
• - If you see anyone doing something that
  appears unsafe, or somehow incorrect, please
  bring it to Bob or Bills attention.
• Housekeeping
• - In performing work in the STAR Facility please
  clean up after yourself at the end of each day.
  Examples are picking up cable tie remnants, paper
  from Label makers, misc. litter that results
  from your work.
