shoppers hired by Westinghouse Hanford are creating their ovn
job security by evaluating at their ovn discretion whether
design enqineering and installation are in cotUancs with
criteria, and job shoppers receive inadequate supervirion fron
kestinqbouse Hanford managers. Job shoppers usually aupply a
hiqhly specialized skill and use their expertise to determine if
systems meet design criteria. Their reconaendation3 are reviewed
and approved by at least two levels of laboratory supervision
and may require review and approval by the Department. Roth the
Department and the laboratory have specific procedures and
controls for managing changes that job shoppers recommend. The
