The Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security (EHSS) manages corporate reporting databases and provides analysis of DOE-wide performance in protecting the public, the workers and the environment while performing the missions of DOE. EHSS manages a number of viable safety indicators applicable to most DOE contractor operations that provide Departmental leadership, line management, and stakeholders with timely information to gauge the success of Departmental safety program implementation. This analysis is valued in corporate decision-making and synthesizes operational information to support continuous environment, safety and health (ES&H) improvement across the DOE complex. Safety performance indicators and trends are developed and analyzed utilizing DOE operational and occurrence data collected through various reporting mechanisms and provided through Internet-based tools and databases.

Databases

The Department synthesizes operational information to support continuous environment, health, safety and security improvements. DOE’s corporate safety reporting and analysis programs and activities are established to manage a number of viable safety indicators applicable to most DOE contractor operations that provide Departmental leadership, line management, and stakeholders with timely information to gauge the success of Departmental safety program implementation. DOE operational and occurrence data are collected through various reporting mechanisms and provided through internet-based tools, one of which is databases.

Dashboards

In addition to databases, another internet-based tool implemented by DOE to capture operational and occurrence data is the use of dashboards. EHSS provides several dashboards including, Public Final Occurrence Reports; Computerized Accident Incident Reporting System (CAIRS) – Injury and Illness; and the Pilot Project: Nuclear Safety Information.
