Work and Worker Authorization based on Hazard Reviews (Hazard Review)

This suborder defines the requirements for authorizing both hazardous activities (“work”) and workers based on a systematic level of work planning and control commensurate to the hazards, job complexities, and physical location, i.e., based on hazard reviews. Hazard Reviews are required for all activities conducted by NIST employees/associates as part of their assigned duties except for low-risk activities and common everyday tasks not involving extraordinary hazards.
