Commitment to Safety

Zero Accident Philosophy  

Workplace accidents are costly, preventable, and unacceptable in today's work environment. Therefore, BSC is committed to an accident free environment under the guidelines of the President's Zero Accident Council and other environmental safety and health committees that reinforce this policy. Through its Zero Accident Philosophy, BSC is committed to the goal of eliminating all workplace injuries, illnesses, and over-exposures. This goal can only be achieved by continuously and systematically improving BSC's Integrated Safety Management system, reducing hazards, and modifying unsafe behaviors.

Integrated Safety Management (ISM)  

The BSC Integrated Safety Management (ISM) system is a methodical approach for integrating safety into all phases of work as we progress toward project goals and initiatives. The elements of ISM are fundamental to BSC's management philosophy and are considered commitments to our Department of Energy customer for the safe performance of work. All BSC employees are responsible for identifying potential hazards. In response, BSC continually reviews the ISM system to ensure that its processes and mechanisms are effective in protecting workers, the public, and the environment. By valuing worker input and involvement, the ISM system continually evolves as we identify and implement improvements.
