DOE seeks improved Hanford safety after close calls By Annette Cary, Mid Columbia Tri City Herald, WA
After the June incidents, contractor Bechtel National stopped work on day and night shifts for a safety awareness day to emphasize its goal of zero accidents.
The day was used to gather information from workers to improve the project's safety performance and emphasize to workers that safety was more important than production or cost, said Jim Henschel, project director for Bechtel National.
Bechtel paid about $500,000 in wages that day although no work was done on the $5.7 billion vitrification plant.
About 1,300 craft workers, such as carpenters and pipefitters, are employed to build the plant. It will turn radioactive waste left from the past production of plutonium at Hanford for the nation's nuclear weapons program into a more stable glass form for disposal.------------------------------------------- posted 6:18 AM :: reference link ::
