23、 without license from IHS-,-,-1 CHAPTER 1. General 1.1 Background 1.1.1 It is NASA policy to implement a comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health Program consistent with the following Federal requirements: a. The OSH Act of 1970, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 651 et.seq. which requires the development a
24、nd enforcement of standards to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for employees in the private sector and contains provisions applying to Federal agencies and their employees. Section 19 of the OSH Act requires Federal agencies to have a comprehensive occupational safety and health program
25、 consistent with the standards authorized by Section 6 of the OSH Act. b. Executive Order 12196 which directs Federal agencies to implement effective occupational safety and health programs provides for the evaluation of Federal agency programs by the Department of Labor (DOL) and also provides for
26、the transmittal of these evaluations to the President. c. 29 C.F.R. pt. 1960 which provides basic elements for Federal employee occupational safety and health. Note: NPR 1800.1, paragraph P.1.b, states that it is NASA policy to follow the most protective/conservative standard that applies. 1.2 Leade
27、rship Responsibilities and Requirements 1.2.1 The NASA Administrator is the senior NASA official responsible for Agency-wide safety and health. 1.2.2 The Agency Mission Support Council serves as the executive board responsible for addressing the NASA occupational safety and health program (see 29 C.
28、F.R. 1960.36). 1.2.3 The NASA Designated Agency Safety and Health Official (DASHO) is responsible for assuring that 29 C.F.R. pt. 1960 requirements at the Agency level are fulfilled and implemented (see 29 C.F.R. 1960.6). Note: At NASA, the DASHO is the Chief Health and Medical Officer (see NPD 1000
29、.3 paragraph 4.16). a. The DASHO serves as the Agency coordinator for submitting requests on behalf of NASA for approval by the Secretary of Labor for waivers to OSHA requirements (aka: OSHA variance) and approval of alternate or supplemental standards.

30、r networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-2 Note: 29 C.F.R. 1960.17 and 29 C.F.R. 1904.38 (for variances from record keeping) and 29 C.F.R. pt. 1905 (for variances from rules of practice) provide the requirements for requesting variances to OSHA requirements. 1.2.4 The safety and health fu
31、nctions at NASA are administered by two separate functional offices. The safety function is managed by the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA), and the health function is managed by the Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer. Notes: 1) OSMA is responsible for the management, direct
32、ion, and policy, and oversight of the specific elements of 29 C.F.R. pt. 1960 pertaining to Agency safety. OSMA is responsible for participating in reviews and evaluating NASA activities for conformance with prescribed safety polices, standards, and procedures and recommending necessary corrective a
33、ction to obtain conformance when discrepancies are identified. 2) Within the Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer, the Director, NASA Occupational Health is responsible for the management, direction, policy, and oversight of the specific elements of 29 C.F.R. pt. 1960, pertaining to occupa
34、tional health for the Agency. 3) The Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer, Environmental Health Officer is responsible for participation in reviews and evaluating NASA activities for conformance with prescribed occupational health policies, standards, and procedures and recommending necess
35、ary corrective action to obtain conformance when discrepancies are identified. 1.2.5 The Chief/SMA, in conjunction with the DASHO, shall: a. Lead the safety and health training program throughout NASA (Requirement). b. Maintain liaisons with other Government and industry training organizations for t
36、he purposes of sharing best practices and lessons learned (Requirement 31593). 1.2.6 29 C.F.R. 1960.17 and 1960.18 provide the authority and requirements for NASA to produce standards to implement and supplement the requirements in 29 C.F.R. pt. 1960. Notes: 1) NASA may develop alternate standards o
37、r accept non-NASA consensus standards to provide equivalent or greater protection for affected employees. 2) If there are NASA operations that are not covered by OSHA standards, OSHA requires NASA to develop a supplementary standard to provide protection to employees. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo
38、 reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-3 3) Preparation of NASA standards to implement and supplement the requirements in 29 C.F.R. pt. 1960 requires close coordination between the Chief Health and Medical Officer and Chief/SMA. 4) The Secretary of Labor is required to co
39、ncur on any NASA standards that implement and supplement the requirements in 29 C.F.R. pt. 1960 require (see paragraph 1.2.3.a). 1.2.7 For any Presidential mandate requiring NASA to meet a set of OSHA and Federal Workers Compensation metrics (e.g., Safety, Health And Return-to-Employment Initiative
40、and Protecting Our Workers and Ensuring Reemployment Initiative), the Chief/SMA and the DASHO shall collaborate to establish internal Agency goals, track progress and identify trends, and provide input for the Agencys Annual OSHA Report. 1.2.8 29 C.F.R. 1960.7 requires that the NASA budget include f
41、inancial and other resources to effectively implement and administer the Agencys occupational safety and health program. 1.3 Employee Reports of Unsafe and Unhealthful Working Conditions 1.3.1 29 C.F.R. 1960.28 specifies the process for employees to report unsafe or unhealthful conditions and for NA
42、SA to address and respond to these reports. At NASA, the following appeal route (in order of precedence) is available: a. Supervisor. b. Center or Component Facility Safety/Health Official(s), as appropriate. c. Center Director or Manager. d. Designated Agency Safety and Health Official (for unhealt
43、hful conditions) and/or Chief/SMA (for unsafe conditions). e. NASA Safety Reporting System (NSRS). f. Office of Federal Agency Safety and Health Programs (OSHA/DOL). 1.3.2 Complaints or grievances may also be registered through the NASA grievance procedures, through those procedures contained in agr
44、eements negotiated with recognized labor organizations, or through the NASA Office of Inspector General. 1.3.3 Center Directors shall establish systems to collect and address employee reports of unsafe or unhealthful conditions (Requirement).
