Policy for Staff Guided Tours Keeps Security Informed
By Emily Ball
A new policy for staff guided tours simplifies the process for giving
small personal tours while keeping SLAC Safeguards and Security
well-informed. As announced in The Interaction Point (http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/tip/2005/feb04/tour.htm),
the policy is brand new, but the procedure is virtually unchanged. Staff
members still fill out a SLAC Dosimeter/ID Request Form, but the form
has now been updated to collect additional information. Changes include:

fills out the new Dosimeter/ID Request form with Security Officer John
Freidrich at the security gate before proceeding with her staff guided
tour.
The form can be found at:

Section 1: a commitment from visitor(s) to obey signage and
follow direction of staff escort
Section 2: a commitment from the escort to take full
responsibility for each visitor’s safety, to verify that up-to-date
training is sufficient to escort visitor(s), and to list the areas where
the visitor(s) will be taken.
The additional information enables staff to continue to take groups
smaller than than six people on private tours without getting special
permission or prior approval, and provides SLAC Safeguards and Security
with enough information to control visitor activity on the site.
“Now when staff members take guests on tours, they fill out the same
form as before only they provide us with a little more information,”
says Rick Yeager, SLAC Security Chief. “The additional information
provided gives security officers a chance to manage onsite groups during
potential accidents or natural disasters, and puts the responsibility of
safety squarely in each staff member’s hands.”
With this increased commitment to safety from staff members and their
visitors, staff guided tours will be easy to offer at the convenience of
the guide with safety and security a top priority.
For groups with more than six visitors, go to:

out a Private Tour Request form.
