CHAPTER II. REPORTING OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND
HEALTH INFORMATION
1. INJURY AND ILLNESS RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING. It is DOE policy
Section 5
that environmental, safety, and health reports be complete and readily available for
authorized dissemination outside the cleared community. When accidents or incidents
occur in Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) sensitive facilities and/or
involve classified operations, the local classification officer will be consulted to ensure
that such reports do not inadvertently disclose classified or unclassified controlled
information (such as UCNI or Official Use Only information.) If classification concerns
appear to inhibit completely forthright reporting, the DOE offices of Classified and
Controlled Information Review and Information Classification and Control Policy will
provide assistance in creating complete yet unclassified reports. If this cannot be
accomplished, the reports will be annotated to indicate the existence, identification and
file location of any classified addendum.
a. Work-Related Fatalities, Injuries, and Illnesses. Heads of Headquarters Elements
and Heads of Field Elements will ensure that DOE contractors report work-related
fatalities, injuries, and illnesses occurring among DOE contractor/subcontractor
employees and arising out of work primarily performed at DOE-owned or DOE-
leased facilities under their direction. Reports will be submitted to the Assistant
Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health according to procedures provided
in paragraphs 3a through 3g of the CRD to this Manual. Periodic, at least annual,
quality checks will be performed to verify that the information recorded and
reported regarding work related injuries and illnesses to DOE contractor
employees is thorough and accurate.
Heads of Field Elements and the Director for the Office of Management, Budget
and Evaluation (for Headquarters, including NNSA Headquarters) will record
occupationa l fatalities, injuries, and illnesses occurring among Federal employees
arising out of work primarily performed at DOE-owned or DOE-leased facilities.
Reports of work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses to DOE employees will
comply with the record keeping and reporting requirements contained in the
current version of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1960,
Subpart I, with modifications that follow in paragraphs 1a(1) through 1a(5) and 1c
through 1f, below.
(1) Record all recordable occupational injuries and illnesses experienced by
DOE employees on the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses,
OSHA Form No. 300, and complete an annual summary of the
information contained on OSHA Form No. 300 using the Summary of
Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, OSHA Form No. 300A (see
Appendix B).
(2) Record and report all DOE employee work-related injuries and illnesses
on the electronic form DOE F 5484.3, Individual Accident/Incident
Report, in lieu of OSHA Form No. 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report.

Section 9
a. The September 2000 memorandum of understanding between DOE and the
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which supersedes the
December 1990 memorandum, reassigned management responsibility for a range
of epidemiologic research projects and related activities addressing worker and
community health to the DHHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) constituent agencies, including the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and
the National Center for Environmental Health. Much of the research focuses on
illness, injury, and death to determine whether exposure to ionizing radiation and
chemicals has had impact on worker health. These agencies have become users of
data collected originally to fulfill OSHA requirements and collectors of additional
research data.
b. Heads of Field Elements will provide CDC officials, their contractors, and
grantees access to the DOE facilities, workers, information, and data needed to
conduct these studies. The investigators will comply with Privacy Act and
security requirements.
5. ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY. The Assistant Secretary for
Environment, Safety and Health shall submit an annual report to the Secretary describing
the status and adequacy of DOE, including NNSA, and contractor performance of their
occupational safety and health responsibilities. The annual report for the calendar year

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE M 231.1-1A, ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY, AND HEALTH REPORTING
Regardless of the performer of the work, contractors with the CRD incorporated into their
contracts are responsible for compliance with the requirements of the CRD. Affected contractors
also are responsible for flowing down the requirements of the CRD to subcontracts at any tier to
the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance with the requirements. In doing so,
the contractor must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts.
That is the contractor must both ensure that it and its subcontractors comply with the
requirements of this CRD and only incur costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in the
conduct of competitive business. The contractor must develop site-wide and facility-wide
procedures, protocols, or other methods to meet the reporting requirements in this CRD as
indicated below.
1. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAM REPORTING. Ensure that
Section 11
environmental, safety, and health reports are complete and readily available for
authorized dissemination outside the cleared community. Ensure that when accidents or
incidents occur in Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) sensitive
facilities and/or involve classified operations, the local classification officer is consulted
to ensure that such reports do not inadvertently disclose classified or unclassified
controlled information (such as UCNI or Official Use Only information.) If classification
concerns appear to inhibit completely forthright reporting, the DOE offices of Classified
and Controlled Information Review and Information Classification and Control Policy
will provide assistance in creating complete yet unclassified reports. If this cannot be
accomplished, the reports must be annotated to indicate the existence, identification and
file location of any classified addendum.
Ensure the information described below is reported annually, considering annual
guidance provided by the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health on the
Web-based Pollution Prevention Tracking and Reporting System (PPTRS), unless
otherwise indicated. (These reporting requirements relate to activities carried out or
conducted under the contractor’s ISMS and the CRD to DOE O 450.1, “Environmental
Protection Program.)
a. Information on site progress in implementing Environmental Managements
Systems (EMSs) shall be reported to the Cognizant Secretarial Officer and the
Assistant Secretary of Environment, Safety and Health, as appropriate.
b. Information on site progress in reducing or eliminating the generation of waste,
the release of pollutants to the environment, and the use of Class I ozone-
depleting substances (ODS).
c. Information on site procurement of recycled-content materials and
environmentally preferable products and services.
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE M 231.1-1A
Page 2 03-19-04
d. Information on pollution prevention award nominations from sites, and
nominations selected as “best in class” by Heads of Headquarters Elements and
Heads of Field Elements1. The Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and
Health will submit the selected “best in class” pollution prevention awards to the
White House “Closing the Circle” award competition.
2. ANNUAL SITE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT. Provide all necessary assistance,
including partial or full preparation of the Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER), to
the Head of the Field Element, as directed and appropriate, in meeting the annual site
environmental reporting requirement to DOE headquarters each October 1st.
a. Ensure that information needed to prepare an integrated Annual Site
Environmental Report for each calendar year is provided to the Head of the Field
Element. This information will include summary environmental data in order to:
(1) Characterize site environmental management performance. Include data
on effluent releases, environmental monitoring, and estimated radiological
doses to the public from releases of radioactive material at DOE sites.
(2) Summarize environmental occurrences and responses reported during the
calendar year (CY).
(3) Confirm compliance with environmental standards and requirements.
Section 12
(4) Highlight significant programs and efforts. Include environmental
performance indicators and/or performance measures programs. The
breadth and detail of this reporting should reflect the size and extent of
programs at a particular site.
The Annual Site Environmental Report for the calendar year will be completed
and made available to the public by October 1 of the following year, and an
informational copy will be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Environment,
Safety and Health at that time.
b. Ensure adherence to the reporting schedule and guidance provided by the Office
of Environmental Policy and Guidance regarding reporting information for the
Annual Site Environmental Reports.
3. INJURY AND ILLNESS RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING. Ensure that
environmental, safety, and health reports are complete and readily available for
authorized dissemination outside the cleared community. Ensure that when accidents or
incidents occur in Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) sensitive
1 Whenever Heads of Headquarters Elements is used in this CRD, it includes Secretarial Officers, Administrator for
NNSA, Administrators for the Power Administrations, and Heads of Staff Offices. Likewise, whenever Heads of
Field Elements is used in this CRD, it includes Operations Offices, Field Offices, Site Offices, Service Centers,
Project Offices and Area Offices.

facilities and/or involve classified operations, the local classification officer is consulted
to ensure that such reports do not inadvertently disclose classified or unclassified
controlled information (such as UCNI or Official Use Only information.) If classification
concerns appear to inhibit completely forthright reporting, the DOE offices of Classified
and Controlled Information Review and Information Classification and Control Policy
will provide assistance in creating complete yet unclassified reports. If this cannot be
accomplished, the reports must be annotated to indicate the existence, identification and
file location of any classified addendum.
a. At a facility or site where DOE is exercising its authority to regulate worker
safety and health (rather than have the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration directly regulate the facility or site) the contractor is responsible
for keeping records for work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses. Unless
otherwise directed in this CRD, the contractor must ensure that records are kept as
directed in Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1904.4 through 1904.11,
1904.29 through 1904.32, 1904.44 and 1904.46. The contractor must conduct
periodic, at least annual, self-assessments of the record keeping and reporting
program to verify that the information recorded and reported is thorough and
accurate.
b. Ensure that the following recording and reporting requirements are followed:
(1) Record all work-related contractor employee fatalities, injuries, and
illnesses on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Form
No. 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, and complete an
annual summary of the information contained on OSHA Form No. 300
using OSHA Form No. 300A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and
Illnesses [See Appendix B to DOE M 231.1-1A].
Section 13
(2) Record and report all work-related contractor employee fatalities, injuries
and illnesses on the form DOE F 5484.3, Individual Accident/Incident
Report, in lieu of the OSHA Form No. 301, Injury and Illness Incident
Report. Reports must be submitted to the Computerized Accident/Incident
Reporting System (CAIRS). Either method identified in paragraph 3d
below satisfies this requirement. (See Appendix C for a list of data
elements included in the form.) Access requirements for DOE F 5484.3
data is described in paragraph 3g below. Submission and posting of
reports is described in 3d and 3f below.
(3) Report employees’ total hours worked on DOE F 5484.4, Tabulation of
Work-Hours. Access requirements for DOE F 5484.3 data is described in
paragraph 3g below. Submission of reports is described in 3e below.
c. The contractor must ensure that reports for select subcontractors, those who
employ more that 10 employees on the DOE work being performed, are recorded
in accordance with 29 CFR 1904.4 through 1904.11, 1904.30, 1904.31, and
1904.46. Additionally, reports are not required for accidents involving
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE M 231.1-1A
Page 4 03-19-04
subcontractor employees whose work is limited to transient activities and does not
include an onsite office and whose day-to-day supervision/direction is not
provided by DOE or a DOE primary contractor (e.g., copy machine repair,
express mail delivery, telephone installation/repair, vending machine service).
Reports for subcontractor employees are reported separately for each
subcontractor organization in the same manner as 3b(2) and 3b(3) above for
contractor employees, unless consolidation of data is approved by the CAIRS
Point of Contact for the Head of the Headquarters Element or their designated
CAIRS POC at the DOE field organization. Procedures for adding or deleting
organization codes to accommodate changes in reporting organizations are
contained in Appendix E to DOE M 231.1-1A.
d. Ensure that new reports (DOE F 5484.3) are submitted at least bi-monthly for
receipt on or before the 15th of the month or the last working day of the month.
Initial reports will include estimated lost work time. Revisions to lost work time,
and any other information that requires revising information initially reported,
will be submitted by the end of the quarter. Quarterly revisions will be submitted
for receipt by the 10th of the month following the end of the calendar quarter, i.e.,
April 10th, July 10th, October 10th, and January 10th. Prior to the transition to
require electronic reporting only, legible copies of completed report forms may be
mailed. Mailed report forms should be addressed to the CAIRS Data Coordinator,
U.S. Department of Energy, EH-33/Bldg. 270 CC, 1000 Independence Ave.,

accessing CAIRS and electronic report submission is included in Appendix E of
DOE M 231.1-1A and on the Internet at the R&R References and Resources Web
page (http://tis.eh.doe.gov/cairs/refs.html.) .
f. Ensure that the OSHA Form No. 300A is completed, certified, and posted in the
workplace annually. (See requirements in 29 CFR 1904.29, 1904.32, and
1904.44.)
g. Accident and related records must be retained, maintained and accessible as
follows:
CANCELE
D
DOE M 231.1-1A Attachment 2
03-19-04 Page 5
(1) A contractor newly assuming occupational safety and health
responsibilities for DOE work being performed must accept and maintain
already existing records of a prior contractor. A contractor with an
expiring or terminating contract must transfer records to the facilities
management or follow-on contractor. [See record retention requirements
in 29 CFR 1904.33.]
(2) The contractor must ensure that access to accident records is as follows:
(a) An employee, former employee, and/or his/her representatives
have the right to limited access of the OSHA Form No. 300 that
contain the employee’s name.
(b) Access is subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
requirements and restrictions. [See 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6). Access to
information on any log maintained by a DOE contractor as
described in this CRD will be restricted to information that does
not constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. An
employee whose name does not appear on a log will be limited to
accessing information that does not identify any injured or ill
employees, and will not be provided access to the names of the
injured or ill employees. An employee, former employee, and/or
an authorized representative will have access to DOE F 5484.3
data that contains the employee’s name.
(c) Records listed in 29 CFR 1904.2, 1904.4, and 1904.5 (or the DOE
equivalent of these records) must be made available for inspection
and copying by any Department of Energy representative for the
purpose of conducting oversight assessments or for statistical
compilation.
(3) Ensure that OSHA Form No. 300 is updated [see 29 CFR 1904.33]. Each
quarter for at least one year from the date of the injury/illness, ensure that
each DOE F 5484.3 that includes lost work time (either days away from
work or days restricted/transferred) is updated to indicate changes in lost
work time or changes in the description or outcome of the case.
(4) Ensure that individuals tasked with occupational injury and illness
recording and reporting responsibilities are appropriately trained to
accomplish the recording and reporting requirements of this CRD and are
informed to contact the Office of Information Management for additional
information and assistance in interpretation of requirements contained in
this CRD.

utilized for submitting formatted annual summaries of the fire protection information by
April 30 of the following year [see Appendix F of DOE M 231.1-1A].
5. EPIDEMILOGIC ANALYSES—EXCESS INJURIES AND ILLNESSES. Ensure that
the following reporting requirements for excessive injuries and illnesses are followed:
a. Notify the Head of the Field Element of suspected excessive illnesses or injuries
that require epidemiologic investigation. Excessive illness or injury means the
perception that an unusually high number of cases may be occurring among a
group of workers. Epidemiologic analyses can help determine whether suspected
illness or injury excesses are greater than expected and are associated with
working conditions.
b. Ensure that employees are aware that any worker, individual, or group (for
example, safety and health staff, supervisors, or employee representatives) can
identify suspected illness or injury excesses.
6. EPIDEMILOGIC ANALYSES—OSH STUDIES. The contractor must ensure DOE
authorized investigators, including investigators from the Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are provided
access to DOE facilities, workers, (contractors and subcontractors), information, and data
needed for epidemiologic research projects and related activities addressing worker and
community health. Research may require medical test, work place surveys, and review of
personnel, medical and exposure records. All investigators are required to comply with
Privacy Act and security requirements.
7. RADIATION EXPOSURE REPORTS TO THE RADIATION EXPOSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (REMS) REPOSITORY. Ensure that the following
requirements for radiation exposure monitoring reports are followed:
a. Annual Individual Radiation Exposure Records.
(1) DOE contractors will report annual radiation exposure records required by
10 CFR 835.702(a) and (b) to the REMS repository by March 31 for the
preceding monitoring year. The records should include exposure records
for special individuals as described in paragraph 1.b.(1) of this chapter.
(2) Revisions to radiation exposure records for monitoring periods beginning
on or after January 1, 1989, will be reported to the REMS repository.
Revised records for prior monitoring years will be submitted annually by
March 31. However, if the revised dose record results in a dose exceeding
regulatory dose limits defined in 10 CFR 835.202, revised records will be
submitted within 30 days of the date that the dose record is revised.
Revised records should be submitted to the REMS repository in a separate
file, but in the same format as annual records. The transmittal
documentation should note that the enclosed records are revised.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 231.1-1A Attachment 2

b. Radiation Exposure Records for Special Individuals.
(1) A special individual is a person employed by DOE Headquarters, a
contractor supporting DOE Headquarters or Field Office activities, a
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board employee or contractor, or an
International Atomic Energy Agency inspector who visits a DOE or DOE
contractor site or facility to conduct Department-related business.
Radiation exposure data pertaining to special individuals will be reported
to the REMS repository within 30 days after the determination of the
dosimetry.
Section 16
(2) Each DOE contractor employee or a special individual who visits in an
official capacity, a radiological site outside of the DOE shall arrange to
have all pertinent occupational radiological exposure data to his or her
employer within 30 days after determination of the dosimetry.
(3) DOE contractors shall ensure that such procedures exist and are effective
in support of paragraph 1.b.(2) above .
c. Report Format. All radiation exposure reports sent to the REMS repository as
noted in paragraphs 1.a. and 1.b. must be submitted in electronic format and must

APPENDIX E. ACCESSING CAIRS AND OBTAINING ORGANIZATION CODES
1. ACCESSING CAIRS.
The Computerized Accident/Incident Reporting System (CAIRS) offers electronic access
to summary information on accidents reported by DOE and DOE contractor organization.
a. Registration.
CAIRS is a Government computer system and, as such, has security requirements
that must be followed. These security requirements are mandated by DOE O
205.1, Department of Energy Cyber Security Management Program, dated 3-21-
03. Some of the information contained in CAIRS is restricted and is to be
accessed by authorized users for official Government business only.
Registered users of CAIRS agree to adhere to the security requirements specified
on the registration form. Individuals interested in registering to become CAIRS
users can obtain a copy of the registration form from the ES&H Helpline at (800)
473-4375.
b. System Requirements. The following are the system requirements for using
CAIRS. You must have—
Section 22
• an Internet connection (either direct or via an ISP); an Ethernet connection
to DOE's Business Network, or a modem capable of communicating at
speeds of 28,800 BPS or faster;
• a Pentium or faster computer with sufficient memory to support a Web
browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer (As with all Windows
applications, a faster PC and/or additional memory will greatly enhance
system performance.
• Netscape 4.0 or higher or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher in order to
support features such as tables, Secure Socket Layer (SSL-2) protocol, and
Active Server Pages (ASP).
• Windows 95 or higher.
2. OBTAINING ORGANIZATION CODES.
An organization code is a 7-character identifier assigned for the purpose of CAIRS
reporting and for managing records in the database. Each part of the code has a specific
meaning. The first two characters specify the field organization (such as Idaho
Operations). The third character specifies an area office (if there are any under the field
office). The fourth through sixth characters specify the DOE or DOE contractor
CANCELE
D
Appendix E DOE M 231.1-1A
E-2 03-19-04
organization. The seventh character represents an operation type such as production,
research, government, etc.
Changes in organization codes must be approved by the CAIRS Point of Contact (POC)
for the Cognizant Secretarial Officer or their designated CAIRS Point of Contact at the
DOE field organization and the CAIRS Program Manager. Requests for changes in
organization code should be initiated through the ES&H Helpline at (800) 473-4375 or
by sending e-mail to CAIRS support at esh- infocenter@eh.doe.gov.
3. ELECTRONIC REPORTING.
The Computerized Accident/Incident Reporting System (CAIRS) allows two methods of
electronically submitting reports, CAIRS Direct Data Entry (CDDE) and CAIRS Bulk
Upload Processing (CBUP). Access to the electronic reporting features in CAIRS is
controlled. CDDE is an internet-based tool that takes advantage of the modern browser
technology currently being used to navigate the World Wide Web (WWW). It allows
users capabilities to enter new cases, edit previously saved cases and retrieving relevant
data using features consistent with the current Windows environments found on most of
today’s personal computers. CBUP allows organizations with local computer systems
that contain information needed to complete accident reports, capabilities to extract the
required data fields from the local computer and transfer a data file containing this
information to CAIRS. To register to begin electronic reporting or for additional
information contact the ES&H Helpline at (800) 473-4375 or by sending e-mail to
CAIRS support at esh- infocenter@eh.doe.gov. The CAIRS reference documents listed
below are available online at: http://tis.eh.doe.gov/cairs/refs.html.

APPENDIX F. ANNUAL FIRE PROTECTION SUMMARY
1. SUMMARY OF FIRE LOSS DAMAGE INCIDENTS.
Fire loss includes property damage or loss sustained as a consequence of a fire. Fire loss
is deemed reportable based upon the fire department incident report. If the event results
in a dispatch, fire department response, and classification as a fire event, then the loss is
considered to be reportable.
Section 23
Each fire loss event will include separate entries or fields for the following information.
NOTE: Reporting elements may submit electronic copies of incident logs, provided that
such information complies with all required reporting attributes of the National Fire
Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).
a. Date, location, dollar amount of loss, and incident description. The event
description should include remedial actions taken to prevent event recurrence.
Criteria for estimating damage costs are provided as paragraphs 8 and 9 below of
this Appendix.
b. Incidents, classified as—
• Fire/Smoke [Building],
• Fire/Smoke [Brush],
• Fire/Smoke [Vehicle], or
• Fire/Smoke [Other]
c. Causal factor(s) associated with the event, classified as---
• Weather Related,
• Employee Related
• Procedure Related,
• Other, or
• Unspecified.
d. Involvement of a fixed suppression system. Include the system type, method of
actuation, the number of sprinkler heads activated (water-based suppression
systems) or the quantity of agent discharged (nonwater-based suppression
systems).

Identify and classify all fire department response events. For this reason, each response
should be recorded in a single fire department incident report from the first due or
incident commander’s perspective.
The fire response category relates to working fires on the site that were either
extinguished or verified as a fire event by the responding incident commander.
HAZMAT response relates non-fire hazardous material incidents. The other emergency
category is intended for all other emergencies in which firefighting apparatus was
dispatched, including offsite mutual aid response, or support for a medical response.
The non-emergency category relates to situations where the initial response was
considered an emergency, but was later verified as a non-emergency by the incident
commander. This includes inadvertent system actuation. Malicious alarms, or offsite
mutual aid that was cancelled en route. Medical response includes any response in which
an ambulance was dispatched for the sole purpose of a medical emergency.

8. CRITERIA FOR COST ESTIMATING
a. Estimating fire damage costs for DOE facilities and programs is essential to
categorize necessary investigations and quantify financial loss to the Government
for either direct reimbursement or analytical purposes. When estimating loss, it is
expected that reporting elements make every attempt to calculate a credible
replacement value and to grade such estimate on the financial impact it will have
upon the Government. For example, a room-and-contents fire involving standard
office products may not require the use of a detailed cost estimation and may be
calculated according to the institutional knowledge of the reporting authority.
However, a total facility loss or losses exceeding $10,000 in replacement value
may need to employ estimation techniques described in paragraph 9a below.
b. There are qualified people in DOE and/or contractor organizations who are
trained and experienced in cost estimating. These individuals should follow the
procedures in DOE G 430.1-1. When estimating costs from fire loss events, these
individuals should be involved to identify replacement values using available site
data sources such as the Management Analysis Reporting System, the Property
Information Database System, and the Facility Information Management System
and may include applying an appropriate cost index ratio (e.g., the producer price
index) or data published in the periodical, Engineering News Record.
c. Text in paragraph 9 below provides guidance for determining loses based on the
value of property that is destroyed or otherwise impaired by a fire.
9. CRITERIA FOR LOSS ESTIMATION
a. Loss estimation includes the following:
(1) Damage or loss of facilities, inventories, and associated equipment as a
result of a fire or a fire suppression system actuation.
Section 27
(2) All estimated or actual costs to restore DOE property to a reasonable
approximation of pre-accident conditions. If an accident involves property
that has been lost, completely destroyed, or contaminated to a degree
precluding economically justifiable recovery, estimates shall be based on
cost for actual replacement and installation of comparable equipment,
devices, or materials (including nuclear materials) as well as clean-up and
disposal cost for the damaged facility. Such costs should include credit
for any salvage value associated with the loss.
(3) In the case of unused, obsolete, or excess building space, equipment, or
materials that are not going to be replaced, the cost estimate of the market
value at time of accident shall be used.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 231.1-1A Appendix F
03-19-04 F-9
(4) Estimated costs for restoring to a reasonable degree to pre-accident
condition, without improvement, all partially lost or damaged DOE
property. Include replacement cost for all DOE-owned supplies and costs
for decontamination operations where applicable.
(5) Estimated costs for reprocessing and reclaiming partially destroyed and
damaged materials. Where applicable, costs for damage resulting from
firefighting (e.g., water and smoke damage) should be included.
(6) All post- incident cleanup expenses both inside and outside the facility
(e.g., cleanup of hazardous materials or radioactive contamination
resulting from fires, or fire suppression system actuation).
(7) All costs for recharging fire suppression systems (gaseous, chemical and
foam agents) and decontamination or replacement of fire department
equipment.
(8) Costs for damage caused by DOE operations to privately owned property.
(9) Costs for restoration of land and land improvements (sidewalks, roads,
etc.) that were damaged as a result of an accident.
(10) Costs for outside specialists or organizations hired to mitigate losses and
costs for non-standard labor hours (i.e., above the amount normally
worked by the employee) for onsite personnel to restore the property to
pre accident condition
(11) Any lost revenue experienced as a result of the accident. Examples
include income-producing processes, such as power generating and
transmission facilities or timber sales, whose loss would cause a reduction
in payments to the Federal Government.
(12) Estimated damage losses to Government or private wetlands, grasslands,
and forest as a result of a wildland fire originating on DOE lands.
Restoration costs should also be included along with actual costs to
suppress the event.
(13) Labor hours expended by investigative and/or administrative personnel as
a result of the incident.
(14) Labor cost for personnel evacuated during a fire including any stand-down
costs associated with: investigations, employee relocations, or restoration
activities.
CANCELE
D
Appendix F DOE M 231.1-1A
F-10 03-19-04
b. Loss estimation excludes the following:
(1) Expenses resulting solely from loss of the use or occupancy of facilities
affected by the fire, including lost production and research time, unless it
becomes necessary to obtain special facilities (e.g., temporary structures)
to maintain the facilities' use or occupancy.
(2) All post-accident expenses paid by non-DOE sources (e.g., expenses
covered by private insurance).
(3) Expenses to bring property to modern standards.
(4) Normal wear.
(5) Damage to privately owned property caused by other than DOE
operations.

4. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE DATA SUMMARY EXPLANATION
Policies and procedures should be in place to ensure that duplicate monitoring results for
an individual are not reported to the repository by more than one organization.
All dose equivalents will be in units of millirem, rounded to the nearest whole number
and right justified within the appropriate field. Monitoring should be provided in
accordance with the guidance provided in DOE G 441.1-4 External Dosimetry Program
Guide for Use with Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 835, Occupational
Radiation Protection, dated 3-17-99.
If monitoring was not provided for a specific dose value, do not enter a value. Leave the
field blank, padded with spaces, and enter NM in the corresponding measurement code
field.
Monitoring should be provided in accordance with the guidance provided in DOE G
441.1-3, Internal Dosimetry Program Guide for Use with Title 10, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 835, Occupational Radiation Program, dated 3-17-99.
Dose records for more than one facility are required only where radiation monitoring is
performed and recorded for specific facilities. If only site-wide monitoring is provided,
only one facility record code should be included in the submittal to represent the entire
site. For individuals receiving dose at multiple facilities where the fraction of dose
received at each facility code cannot be determined, the entire dose should be attributed
to the facility where the majority of dose was received. If the facility where the majority
of dose was received cannot be determined, the facility code where the individual spent
the majority of the monitoring period should be used.
Comment records are required only if additional information is needed to assess the
record.
Reporting of fetal exposure data is required for a declared pregnant worker. Fetal
exposure data should be included in the submittal for the monitoring year that
encompasses the pregnancy end date.
5. BIOASSAY AND INTAKE SUMMARY FILE EXPLANATION
The following files must be submitted as separate ASCII files containing annual summary
records for bioassay and intake information. These files should be submitted on the same
media as the annual submittal as shown in Tables G-2 and G-3 respectively. The Bioassay
Summary file should contain one record for each facility. The Intake Summary file should
contain one record for each facility, radionuclide, and intake mode.
Bioassay Summary records are required to be reported when any individual participates in
a bioassay program or in vivo monitoring during the monitoring year.

Code Meaning Definition
MV Measured Value Indicates that measurements were performed for the
specific individual to determine the dose for that
individual. This measurement code would apply in all
cases where individual external dosimetry was used or
where the individual participated in a bioassay program
(including whole body or lung count) that was used to
determine the individual's internal dose.
PV Preliminary Value Indicates that this measurement is an interim estimation
and expects to be updated in a subsequent revision and
submittal of this dose record. This measurement code
should be used when the final dosimetry or bioassay
results are not yet available but the submittal is due.
CV Calculated Value Indicates the value given was calculated from indirect
measurements such as monitoring performed on other
workers or determined from a time-motion study or other
analysis such as air sample for internal exposures. The
value given represents the final results of the calculation,
but the value was not measured directly for the monitored
individual. A comment record may be provided to explain
the reason and method of calculation.
NM Not Monitored Dosimetry was not provided and was not required to be
provided.
ND Not Detectable Monitoring was performed but the results were below the
detection limit of the measurement instrumentation.
