Facility Representatives — by Technical Standards Program — last modified Oct 25, 2018 01:27 PM: This standard, Facility Representatives, DOE-STD-1063-2000, defines the duties, responsibilities and qualifications for DOE Facility Representatives, based on facility hazard classification; risks to workers, the public, and the environment; and the operational activity level. This standard provides the guidance necessary to ensure that DOE facilities have sufficient staffing of technically-qualified Facility Representatives to provide day-to-day oversight of contractor operations. Field Element Managers should incorporate the information contained in this standard, as well as any additional facility-specific requirements, into site-specific implementation procedures for DOE Facility Representatives.
Facility Representatives — by Technical Standards Program — last modified Oct 25, 2018 01:28 PM: This standard, DOE-STD-1063, Facility Representatives, defines the duties, responsibilities and qualifications for Department of Energy (DOE) Facility Representatives, based on facility hazard classification; risks to workers, the public, and the environment; and the operational activity level. This standard provides the guidance necessary to ensure that DOE’s hazardous nuclear and non-nuclear facilities have sufficient staffing of technically qualified facility representatives (FRs) to provide day-to-day oversight of contractor operations. Field Element Managers should incorporate the information contained in this standard, as well as any additional facility-specific requirements, such as radiological training, into site specific implementation procedures for DOE FRs.
