PREFACE

Title: JSC Safety and Health Handbook

P.1 PURPOSE

This document defines JSC’s Safety and Health Program and provides basic safety and health requirements for the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and for other locations under JSC’s jurisdiction.

It is important that you follow the safety and health requirements that apply to your job.

P.2 APPLICABILITY

This handbook applies to anyone at JSC or JSC field sites, unless exempted in a specific chapter. For this handbook, “JSC” includes all JSC sites in the Houston area such as Ellington Field and the Sonny Carter Training Facility. “JSC field sites” are sites under JSC control outside the Houston area, such as the White Sands Test Facility and El Paso Forward Operating Location. The handbook applies to operations involving JSC personnel or equipment at non-JSC locations, including foreign countries.

See Chapter 1.3, paragraph 6, for more information on following standards at non-JSC locations. This handbook applies to other contractors, grant recipients, or parties to agreements only to the extent specified or referenced in the appropriate contracts, grants, or agreements

a. In this handbook, all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall." The terms: "may" or “can” denote discretionary privilege or permission, “should” denotes a good practice and is recommended, but not required, “will” denotes expected outcome, and “are/is” denotes descriptive material.

b. In this handbook, all document citations are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted.

c. The following table tells you who must follow this handbook.

If you . . . Then you shall follow . . .

Are a NASA civil service employee This handbook unless you work at a site that involves unique military equipment and operations

Are a contractor at JSC This handbook as called out in your contract. Prime contractors must flow down these requirements to subcontractors

d. If you are a federal employee working in a private employer’s facility, you are covered by the JSC safety and health program. Although NASA may not have the authority to correct hazardous conditions in a private sector workplace, NASA makes sure your working conditions are safe and healthful. NASA does this by administrative controls or personal protective equipment, or your withdrawal from the private employer’s facility.

e. If you are a private employer, neither Executive Order 12196, “Occupational Safety and Health Programs for Federal Employees,” nor this handbook relieves you or your employees of any rights or responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

f. This Handbook takes precedence over all other JSC documentation in safety and health, except for more stringent requirements that individual JSC organizations develop. The following requirements apply:

(1) If your organization has more stringent requirements than are in this Handbook, you shall follow them.

(2) In the case of differences between the requirements of this Handbook and other NASA, federal, state, or local requirements, you shall follow the more stringent requirements.

(3) If you find any less stringent JSC requirements than are in this Handbook, or any differences between the requirements of this Handbook and other NASA, federal, state, or local requirements, bring them to the immediate attention of the JSC Director, the Safety and Mission Assurance Directorate, or the Human Health and Performance Directorate.

g. You don’t need to read this entire Handbook. You need to be familiar with the elements of JSC’s safety and health program, and the requirements that apply to your job. Use the Handbook to find specific requirements, as you need them. This Handbook contains several features to help you find the requirements you need:

(1) Table of contents

(2) Subject index

(3) Chapter titles

(4) Chapter introductions that tell you who has to follow that chapter

(5) The table below tells you which parts apply to what jobs:

Chapter 1.1 Management Commitment

1.1.1 Applicability of this chapter

You are required to follow this chapter if you are a line manager at any level or a facility manager.

1.1.2 Description of Sub-element 1.1

1.1.2.1 JSC integrates authority and responsibility for employee safety and health into its overall management structure and employees shall be involved. This includes:

a. Policy. JPD 1700.3 contains JSC’s safety and health policy. Each employee and manager shall understand and practice this policy. This Handbook outlines the requirements, processes, responsibilities, and measurements for each program element, as well as requirements for working safely. Employees need to understand the policies and requirements.

b. Goals and objectives. JSC management shall set attainable and measurable goals for the safety and health program and establish results-oriented objectives to meet those goals. The JSC Management Council (JMC) sets goals and objectives for the Center. Each line organization is encouraged to set goals and objectives to improve safety and health in its organization. Employees need to understand the goals and objectives, the desired results, and the measures for meeting them.

c. Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Commitment. JSC shall clearly demonstrate commitment to maintaining the requirements of VPP. This involves a daily commitment on your part to following JSC’s safety and health program, which is organized around VPP requirements. By becoming a VPP Star site, we have voluntarily agreed to strive for continuous improvement in our safety and health program. Our continued participation in VPP depends on commitment from top management, line managers, AFGE Local 2284, and all employees. JSC shall meet the requirements for a VPP Star site in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Directive CSP 03-01-003, “Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP): Policies and Procedures Manual,” and provide all required information to OSHA.

1.1.3 Management committees for safety or health

1.1.3.1 JSC management has established two permanent, standing committees involved in safety and health. JSC line managers or employees may form other permanent or temporary committees as needed. Committees shall meet the requirements in paragraphs 1.1.5, 1.1.6, and

1.1.7 of this chapter. Under 29 CFR 1960.36, federal agencies may certify their safety and health committees with the Secretary of Labor. NASA Headquarters chooses not to have the Secretary of Labor certify safety and health committees within NASA. JSC has or may establish the following committees:

a. The JSC Management Council (JMC) is composed of representatives of senior management and others, as needed, and manages JSC’s Safety and Health Program as a part of overall Center management.

b. The Contractor Safety and Health Forum reviews contractor safety and health issues, and provides inputs to JSC’s safety and health program. The Contractor Safety Forum will work with the other JSC committees to investigate and resolve safety issues.

c. Other safety or health committees, either temporary or permanent, may be formed by management at any level of an organization or by employees.

d. Local Field Federal Safety and Health Council, in which JSC shall participate.

e. Ad hoc safety or health committees are one way management can involve employees in safety and health. The person who forms a committee will decide who the members will be. Other safety or health committees may:

(1) Address safety or health issues and ensure a response is provided in 30 working days.

(2) Draft positions and recommendations on Center-wide issues and policies for the JSC Management Committee or other committees.

(3) Develop work practices that are safe and healthful.

(4) Develop and conduct safety and health training, awareness, or motivation activities.

(5) Do safety and health inspections.

1.1.4 Implementing JSC’s safety and health program in line organizations

1.1.4.1 As an organizational director or manager of a directorate-level office, you shall:

a. Develop and document a process for implementing JSC’s safety and health program in your directorate or office. You may tailor the process to the program elements and requirements that apply to your directorate. You may implement the program through safety and health committees, staff meetings, or any other effective means of meeting the requirements below.

b. Your process shall, as a minimum:

(1) Provide insight into the safety and health of your directorate or office employees.

(2) Provide for communication of safety and health information among working-level employees, top management, and all other levels of management.

(3) Make sure that all program elements and requirements that apply to your directorate or office are addressed, followed, and maintained.

(4) Make sure significant issues and accomplishments of your directorate or office safety and health activities are forwarded to the JMC.

(5) Monitor directorate or office safety and health performance and effectiveness of all program elements that apply to your directorate or office.

(6) Keep records that show your process is effective, such as committee or staff minutes and required program documentation.
