Conduct of Operations is the formal documentation, practices, and actions implementing disciplined and structured operations that support mission success and ensure worker, public, and environmental protection. The goal is to minimize the likelihood and consequences of human fallibility or technical and organizational system failures.
Work planning is a process that records, at a minimum, the scope of an activity, the Responsible Manager, location, a list of activities or tasks, and the hazards and controls associated with the activity. The result is a work document that is used in the field to execute activity-level work. This may include technical procedures, work packages, test plans, and work instructions for use by contractor personnel to perform activities.
Correspondence, reports, and recommendations related to the implementation of work planning and conduct of operations at facilities and sites, review of specific documents as well as reviews of DOE programs and safety related directives addressing both work planning and conduct of operations.
