Conditions to stop workConditions to stop work Radiological, chemical, biological, … work that does

not meet Laboratory requirements or creates a threat of unplanned exposures or releases

Imminent danger resulting in injury, death, environmental or equipment damage

Stop Work subject areas

To issue a stop work order you must have been trained in stop work procedures

New hazards identified, scope changed...New hazards identified, scope changed... Imminent danger? then stop work Workers? Inform supervisor Consult to develop and implement hazard controls Change the work plan Conduct a meeting to inform personnel of new

hazards, controls and training Revise work documents

Responsibility regarding safetyResponsibility regarding safety

Following rules and procedures within authority Stop Work, if you are trained to Training assessments (jobs in safety)
