Title
NASA General Safety Program Requirements (w/Change 4 dated 7/20/09) (Formerly NASA NPG 8715.3)
NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Publication Date:
Apr 17, 2009
Scope:
Purpose
This NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) provides the basis for
the NASA Safety Program and serves as a general framework to
structure more specific and detailed requirements for NASA
Headquarters, Programs, and Centers. This document does not stand
alone and is to be used in conjunction with the references listed
in paragraph P.4.
This NPR is directed toward safety requirements and to augment
requirements for occupational health and environmental health of
personnel and activities. Some health and environmental safety
references are included to assist Center safety personnel in
interactions with occupational health and environmental personnel.
Occupational safety and health requirements that implement 29 CFR
Part 1960, Basic Program Elements for Federal Employees,
Occupational Safety and Health Programs and Related Matters, are
specified in NPR 8715.1, NASA Occupational Safety and Health
Programs. Environmental requirements are specified in NPD 8500.1,
NASA Environmental Management.
This NPR does not provide requirements for emergency planning.
Emergency planning requirements are specified in NPD 8710.1,
Emergency Preparedness Program.
To address special processes and/or discipline-unique processes,
the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance publishes standards that
provide specific instructions that are beyond the scope and detail
of this document. A listing of applicable Federal requirements,
NPRs, and standards can be found in paragraphs P.3 and P.4 of this
NPR.
Applicability
This NPR is applicable to NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers
including Component Facilities, and Technical and Service Support
Centers. This NPR applies to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) or
to other contractors or grant recipients only to the extent
specified or referenced in applicable contracts, grants, or
agreements.
The procedural requirements in this document apply: (1) to all
NASA organizations, elements, entities, or individuals; (2) to
visitors on NASA property; (3) to all NASA equipment, property,
systems, and facilities; (4) during all phases of the life cycle of
systems or facilities; and (5) as specified in contract
requirements.
The provisions of this document apply to non-NASA,
non-contractor personnel when on NASA property.
The requirements in this NPR do not supersede more stringent
requirements imposed by other Federal, State, or local government
agencies.
In this NPR, a requirement is identified by a "shall" statement
and followed by the phrase "(Requirement xxxxx)." The number
(xxxxx) is assigned to each requirement statement for the Safety
and Mission Assurance Requirements Tracking System. Note: The word
"shall" indicates that the rule is mandatory. Noncompliance with a
"shall" statement requires approval of a variance. Any text that
does not contain a "shall" statement is for information and
contextual purposes only.
In this NPR, the word "project" refers to a unit of work
performed in programs, projects, and activities. Management of a
work unit is referred to as "project management," which includes
managing programs, projects, and activities.
In this NPR, a system is: (a) the combination of elements that
function together to produce the capability to meet a need and (b)
the end product (performs operational functions) and enabling
products (provide life-cycle support services to the operational
end products) that make up a system. The elements include all
hardware, software, equipment, facilities, personnel, processes,
and procedures needed for this purpose. h. The Center Director for
NASA Headquarters is the Assistant Administrator for Infrastructure
and Administration. In this NPR, requirements for Center Directors
applicable to NASA Headquarters also pertain to the Assistant
Administrator for Infrastructure and Administration.
