Gap Analysis for OHSAS 18001 PHASE 1, 2 & 3 Organizations FY2006 Page 2 of 8
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overall, this gap analysis found the BNL Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) Program written
program currently satisfies the OHSAS 18001 requirements in the organizations registered in
Phase 1 and 2 and those undergoing the registration process in Phase 3. The Phase 1 & 2
organizations have just completed registration surveillance without major nonconformances.
Phase 3 organizations are progressing toward registration at a pace in advance of that achieved in
the Phase 1 and 2 organizations.
Lessons have been learned from the past Internal Audits and NSF registration audits and
surveillances that have allowed BNL to modify or improve OSH programs processes to
strengthen the OSH program and eliminate audit findings. The main reoccurring OSH processes
that need refinement are the formulation/wording of objectives and record/document control and
management. All nonconformances from the previous year’s Internal Audits and the NSF
Registration Audits have been closed.
Five BNL Directorates have achieved OHSAS registration of their full organizations (HENP,
BES, and NSLS) or registration of selected divisions within their organization (F&O and
ESH&Q). All Phase 1 and 2 registered organizations have complete documentation packages on
their web sites. Most Phase 3 organizations have either completed most of their needed elements
or have placeholders for needed developed documents in their programs that are under
development.
The main concern for the OHSAS 18001 program in the coming year is the need to migrate
interim site program level documents into a permanent SBMS document management format.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A gap analysis of the Brookhaven National Laboratory Occupational Safety & Health (OSH)
Management System was performed on June 23, 2006. It supplements a gap analysis performed
in April 2004 in preparation for the Phase 1 registration effort.
The purpose of the 2006 gap analysis was to determine whether BNL organizations are on track
to maintaining or obtaining OSHAS 18001 registration management system. This report
contains a description of the scope, approach and findings of the analysis.
In addition, this gap analysis verified if gaps from the 2004 analysis had been effectively closed.
2.0 SCOPE
The scope of this gap analysis is to review and check the existence of site level and line
organization written OHSAS 18001 documentation and web sites. It did not include an in-depth
evaluation of the content of documents. The internal audit process is used to explore the content
of site and line organization documentation.
Gap Analysis for OHSAS 18001 PHASE 1, 2 & 3 Organizations FY2006 Page 3 of 8
This analysis supplements the OHSAS 18001 internal Gap Analysis of 2004 which covered
program elements and line organization implementation of the site program. This analysis
examined the programs of all BNL organizations- Phase 1, 2, and 3. The following elements of
the specification were checked for their existence in each organization’s program:
Risk Assessment and Controls
OH&S Objectives
OSH Management Programs
Document and Data Control
Performance Measurement and Monitoring
Management Review
3.0 ANALYSIS APPROACH
The OSH Management System gap analysis was conducted per an Analysis Checklist in Section
5 by the OSHAS 18001 Phase 2 & 3 Project Manager. The analysis consisted of review of
written documentation and follow-up phone calls if necessary. No formal interviews or walk-
through inspections of operations and work areas was done.
The records of the analysis are maintained by SHSD in file code HP80.7.
4.0 DEFINITIONS
Findings of the Internal Audit are characterized on the follow scale:
Major Nonconformance: A lack of an element, procedure, or a non-fulfilled requirement that
puts the process/system at jeopardy, and could lead to significant impact on quality,
environment, ES&H, operations, or reliability.
Minor Nonconformance: An observed lapse in a program, process, procedure, or requirement,
usually single incidents that do not have a significant impact on the quality, environment, ES&H,
operations, or reliability.
Opportunity for Improvement (Recommendation): A suggested means of improving an activity
or fulfilling the intent of a requirement.
Noteworthy Practice: (A BNL used term that describes) performance that exceeds expectations
in terms of efficiency and/or effectiveness and provides a model for others to follow. A
noteworthy practice is a positive condition or strength.

written and available by searching the SBMS files. It is not

WH&S, and WP&C meetings have been held to determine the feasibility of
combining the OSH management system with other similar

management systems. The combining of Management

organizations determine there is value to the overall
programs.

that state a period (at least quarterly) for searching sources of
required drivers.

2004 OHSAS 18001 Gap There is no evidence that any of this 2004 Attachment 1’s
Analysis Report, Attachment 1: finding were addressed in SBMS. A few were checked and
18001 and SBMS the changes were not found. The Revision History of several
subject areas were checked and no record of addressing these
changes were noted. [Note: These were not tracked to be
changed until the full site is OHSAS 18001 Registered. As
of Dec 2006, these changes will be needed.]
Following the Corrective and Preventive Action Subject Area, these 2006 Gap Analysis findings
need to be analyzed and a determination made as to what corrective and preventive actions are to
be taken. Also, the effectiveness of the actions needs to be evaluated. The Nonconformances will
be entered into the BNL institutional level Assessment Tracking System (ATS) for formal
tracking to closure.
The following finding of this gap analysis will be tracked in ATS:
1.0 Legal & Other Requirements 4.3.2 [These actions [1.1 and 1.2] were also identified in
the SHSD 2006 OSH Internal Audit and will be tracked in that FATS assessment
Corrective Action Plan].
1.1 Minor Non-Conformance: SHSD Industrial Hygiene Group needs to follow the
time intervals in checking requirements documented in IH50700. Document
reviews on a quarterly basis or change the policy to a longer interval that still allows
requirements to be adequately tracked.
1.1.1 Perform an OSH requirement review of IH drivers in 1st quarter in FY07.
1.1.2 Perform an OSH requirement review of IH drivers in 2nd quarter in FY07.
1.1.3 Perform an OSH requirement review of IH drivers in 3rd quarter in FY07.
1.1.4 Perform an OSH requirement review of IH drivers in 4th quarter in FY07.
[Note: This is also being tracked in the ESH&Q Directorate FY06 OSH Internal
Audit.]
1.2 Major Non-Conformance: SHSD Safety Engineering needs to
1.2.1 Finalize SE50700 to document process and interval for driver reviews.
1.2.2 Perform an OSH requirement review of SE drivers in 1st quarter in FY07.
1.2.3 Perform an OSH requirement review of SE drivers in 2nd quarter in FY07.
1.2.4 Perform an OSH requirement review of SE drivers in 3rd quarter in FY07.
1.2.5 Perform an OSH requirement review of SE drivers in 4th quarter in FY07.
[Note: This is also being tracked in the ESH&Q Directorate FY06 OSH Internal
Audit.]
2.0 OSH Management Programs 4.3.4 Future Major Non-Conformance: Convert the
SBMS OHSAS 18001 Interim Procedures into permanent program (Subject Areas, Program
Description, or other documentation form) by December 31, 2006 or extend the Interim
Procedures while the conversion process is occurring. [Note: the conversion process should
not occur until after the Phase 3 organizations are registered in December 2006. Because
the window of time between Phase 3 registration and Interim Procedures expiration will be
Gap Analysis for OHSAS 18001 PHASE 1, 2 & 3 Organizations FY2006 Page 8 of 8
short (2 weeks), an extension of the Interim Procedures is a probable, justified path.]
3.0 Site OSH Management Representative schedules a process to address the 2004 OHSAS
18001 Gap Analysis Report, Attachment 1 closure actions once Phase 3 organizations are
registered in December. [These changes to SBMS should not occur until after the Phase 3
organizations are registered.]
