Program Office: Safety
SLAC ILC Safety Officer: Keith Jobe
Safety Comes 1st!
It is the policy of SLAC and
the ILC Project to conduct
ES&H line oversight in a cost-effective, coordinated, integrated, and
efficient manner that is consistent with the Integrated Safety Management
Systems (ISMS) policy at SLAC. A high value is placed on the laboratory and
project personnel working together to identify and ensure resolution of ES&H
concerns. All persons must, through training and active discussions, acquire
and maintain sufficient knowledge of program activities in order to make
informed decisions on safety resources for these activities. The Project's
line managers fulfill their responsibilities in part through line management
oversight and have unfettered access to information and facilities in a
manner consistent with safety and security requirements, and in part through
the implementation of self-assessment programs.
Project personnel take responsibility to insure that their actions,
projects, designs and work environments are safe. Safety can be achieved
through implementation of intrinsically safe designs, development of
appropriate procedures, and/or acquisition of appropriate skills through
formal and informal training. Any person who identifies an inadequacy in the
safety of any activity, procedure, design or system must take all necessary
steps to address the problem. The ILC Project has some resources available
to address urgent local or ILC-related safety problems and deficiencies, and
can draw on resources throughout the site to address larger or institutional
problems. Additionally, SLAC has numerous committees, tools, and
communication channels to evaluate and address safety problems. Personnel
may communicate their safety concerns through several channels including
line management, the project's safety office, or anonymously at the SLAC
ES&H Hotline (x4641).
Departmental Safety Goals for FY2004-05:
- Achieve an 85% department completion level for Employee Training Assessments (ETAs).
- Achieve a 90% department completion level for mandatory and supervisor required training.
- Achieve a 90% completion level within 6 months from time of data entry for issues assigned to our department from routine audits through the Quality Assurance Tracking System (QATS).
Job Hazard Analysis (JHAM)
Analyzing hazards is a key function of integrating safety and environmental management into our everyday work.
The Department ES&H Coordinator will discuss accident data with department members on a regular basis in order to share lessons learned and further reduce accidents.
