Compliance Through Transportation Mentoring at Hanford

A Transportation and Packaging Safety Mentor effort. comprising personnel from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Environment, Safety and Health (EH), for the DOE Richland Operations Office (RL) Waste Management Division represents an innovative approach in which EH Mentors participate with line management from both DOE and management and operating (M&O) contractors to develop solutions to problems and provide assistance in implementing those solutions. Rather than identifying new or repetitive problems, EH Mentors provide one-on-one assistance to their customers (DOE line management and the M&O contractor). This approach allows the EH Mentor Team to use its collective experience to attain performance improvements. Mentoring activities are designed to minimize the impact on normal, daily facility activities.
