Safety at the Lab is one subject I will be highlighting on my
presentation. Last year we had a very serious accident at SLAC and I
determined to take action to ensure this will not happen again. One step
is the introduction of a Job Hazard Analysis and Mitigation (JHAM)
process. JHAM is a self assessment of the hazards that are part of our
daily routine. Frequently we are the best people to identify and analyze
hazards associated with our own jobs and places of work. JHAM helps us
to focus on hazards we expect to encounter at work and how we can either
eliminate the hazard or reduce the risk. You can find a full explanation
of JHAM on the back page of this issue of TIP.
Twenty-five percent of Lab staff have been trained and are using the
JHAM process. I was one of the first. Completing my JHAM assessment took
about 45 minutes; it was straightforward and certainly made me think
carefully about possible hazards associated with my job. ES&H staff and
divisional safety coordinators will provide JHAM training to all staff
before November 15. I will outline the options for training and
additional education in my All Hands presentation.
