This report represents the first quarterly submittal of data by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) for the Department Of Energy (DOE) Headquarters Performance Indicator Program. Secretary of Energy Notice (SEN-29-91) directed that a Department-wide uniform systems of Performance Indicators (PIs) for trending and analyzing operational data to help assess and support progress in improving performance and in strengthening line management control of operations relating to environmental, safety, and health activities'' be developed. Trending and analysis of data depicting the performance of facilities is an essential element in creating a culture of continuous improvement,'' where performance gains are maintained and deteriorating environmental, safety, and health conditions are identified early. In addition, good practices that can benefit other DOE operations areas should be identified. The program defines 21 Pi's grouped into four broad areas: (1) personnel safety; (2) operational incidents; (3) environmental releases (normal operations); and (4) management (including waste generation). SNL is required to submit data on 21 PIs for four facilities/reporting elements that were selected by DOE at Albuquerque and Livermore. 31 figs.
