Key players in this effort are the SLAC ES&H coordinators. These
individuals make sure the line organizations have all the support and
training needed to accomplish this mission.
Coordinators exist at the division, department and group levels. While
most department- and group-level ES&H coordinators have other duties, the
divisional coordinators spend the majority of their time ensuring that the
Lab operates efficiently and meets the stated ES&H goals. They also
provide specific advice on ES&H matters to their Associate Directors. The
coordinators are evaluated annually by their supervisors on their
performance in helping their divisions meet these goals.

Safe and Healthful Workplace
Divisional ES&H coordinators help ensure a safe and healthful workplace
by:
Advocating for ES&H improvement SLAC-wide
Monitoring the completion of employee training assessments (ETAs)
Monitoring the completion of required employee training
Conducting periodic walk-throughs of work areas
Establishing division-level ES&H goals to support lab-wide efforts
Investigating accidents, illnesses and incidents
Minimize Adverse Impact
They help minimize adverse impact to the general public and the
environment by:
Developing site-wide ES&H programs and policies
Consulting on major ES&H projects
Developing programs for their divisions to attain ES&H performance
goals
Helping to prevent the reoccurrence of accidents, illnesses and
incidents through lessons learned and near-miss programs
Staying current in general industry injury/ illness engineering
Staying current in project-unique safety engineering
Providing special safety programs for users
Comply with Regulations
The coordinators help ensure that SLAC activities comply with all
applicable rules by:
Advocating for ES&H compliance (through such measures as the "Work
Smart" standards)
Enforcing regulatory compliance in the field
Enforcing compliance with the ES&H Manual and other SLAC policy in
the field
Staying current with the latest regulations and DOE requirements
Interfacing with DOE and other regulators for ES&H
Divisional ES&H Coordinators are Key Resources for You
The divisional ES&H coordinators serve as resources for all members of
their divisions: supervisors, workers and building managers. They know
what people and resources are available from both ES&H and their own
divisions.
Project managers will want to contact their divisional ES&H coordinator
early in a projects development with any questions they may have. All
work supervisors and project managers are encouraged to make their ES&H
coordinators aware of their plans.
This way the coordinator can help ensure in as efficient a manner as
possible that requirements needed to move the project forward, such as
safety-related citizen committee reviews, are met and that the project
complies with SLAC ES&H goals.
For further information on the role of the coordinators in the SLAC
integrated safety management system (ISMS), see the SLAC Safety Management
System description document at:
