Computer-based Safety Training
By Paul
Bloom
By now,
most of you should be familiar with the EOESH and GERT computer-based
training (CBT) offered by the ES&H Training Group at nine satellite
computer locations around the SLAC site. The response we have received
from you, the SLAC community, has been overwhelmingly positive regarding
your experience in taking computer-based versions of these two courses.
Since
February 2003, over 2,600 EOESH and GERT courses have been taken using
CBT. If you calculate that each CBT course takes about an hour to
complete as opposed to sitting half a day in class, the Lab has saved
tens of thousands of dollars in employee time alone. We have you to
thank for the success of this program.
What
you may not be as familiar with are the 15 other safety courses ES&H
Training offers by CBT, including courses such as Electrical Safety for
Non-Electrical Workers and Lead Safety.
Unlike
the EOESH and GERT courses, access to these 15 CBT courses was limited
to our training lab in Building 24. For your convenience we have added
three more computer stations around SLAC where you can take these
courses. You can contact the following people to schedule an appointment
for CBT safety courses at any of the four locations.
Location and Contacts
Bldg.
24: Terry Ash (ESH), Ext. 2688,

I
encourage you to try out our CBT courses at one of these locations. I am
sure that you will find them an easy to use—and often fun—way to learn
critical safety material. ES&H training will continue to seek out new
ways to improve safety training at SLAC in order to make it more
convenient to get the training you need to perform your work safely and
confidently.
