Construction Rigor Levels

~ Screening Criteria Tool ~
Contractors will ensure that work is conducted by qualified and trained
workers. When applicable, activities will be conducted by workers who
are: certified, registered or otherwise documented as qualified by their
trade/profession, or are licensed to perform that activity by the appropriate
government organization.
Job Safety Hazard Evaluations or Activity Hazard Analysis and permits
such as confined space and radiological work further address Sandiaspecific qualifications and training is required for high rigor activities.
Work control is built into numerous FMOC processes. For example:
CSSP review, pre-job and other scheduled meetings, building permits,
additional permits such as hot work and cutting welding and brazing, and
code and safety inspection by FMOC staff.
Feed back on FMOC construction activities is provided to contractors by
several means such as immediate, on scene feedback by inspectors,
quarterly meetings and the monthly newsletter.
