The National Nuclear Security Administration Service Center (NNSA/SC)
Employee Concerns Program (ECP) is a formalized alternative means for
DOE/NNSA federal, contractor, and subcontractor employees to report
concerns as supported by the DOE Secretary Bodman's Program Statement [1]
(pdf, 66kb) and the NNSA Administrator's Statement [2] (doc, 22kb).
The concerns may be associated with the:
- Environment
- Safety
- Health
- Security
- Fraud
- Waste
- Abuse
- Mismanagement of DOE/NNSA and contractor managed activities or
- Reprisal for having reported such issues
The program encourages employees to use their own organization's
established means for reporting issues. If resolution cannot be
achieved, of if there is a fear of reprisal, the DOE/NNSA/SC ECP
personnel can assist concerned employees in determining which processes
could be used to evaluate and resolve their concerns. This may result in
the NNSA/SC ECP office facilitating resolution, referring or
transferring the concern, or investigating the concern itself. The
NNSA/SC ECP is intended to supplement, not replace, existing processes
designed to address concerns and resolve disputes.
For assistance or more information about the Employee Concerns
Program,the NNSA/SC ECP staffs a 24 hot line 1-800-688-5713 or send an
email to ecp@doeal.gov [3].
