The Hanford Concerns Council deals with cases where
employee concerns raise complex or controversial technical issues
which are alleged to have the potential to cause injury or illness
to workers, primarily those issues that appear to be difficult
to resolve through other avenues.
The Council also deals with concerns that have potential
onsite or offsite impact; or which are alleged to violate safety,
health
or environmental requirements or practices at the site. In addition,
the Council offers a protected environment for dealing with
alleged inappropriate management response to concerns, such as
harassment
or retaliation.

"Safety at Hanford matters to all of us and providing an independent
forum for whistleblowers is an exemplary and critical step forward
for workers, the community, and the environment.”
