    Welcome to the DOE Worker Safety and Health Standards Response Line Web site!!!


    The Response Line is a service that responds to questions from DOE, DOE contractor, and DOE subcontractor employees regarding applicability and interpretation of worker safety and health standards and directives. Responses are classified as precedented (existing policy documentation) or unprecedented (no existing policy documentation). Precedented questions and answers provided since July 1, 1995, are online. Unprecedented interpretations are online from July 1, 1993.
