2We have renewed our commitment to safety.
- Commitment starts at the top.
- SLAC has committed itself to achieving (its
scientific) - mission in the context of a respectful workplace
that - supports the value of each individual and
persistently strives - for excellence in health, safety and
environmental matters. - Dr. Jonathan Dorfan
- ESH Policy Statement
- (http//www-group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/isms/eshpo
licy.html)
3Why this training? Why now?
- Type A Incident Corrective Action Plan 8-6, and
10-2 - DOE implementation review, October 3 11
- New Environmental Management System requirements
- However, the S in ISMS always included
environmental considerations
4The ISMS Implementation review is important to
SLACs future.
- DOE re-assessments of a contractors ISMS are
rare - Appreciate how the Office of Science is focused
on SLAC safety performance - Im optimistic that each of
- you will represent our ISMS well.
5Goals of Todays Training
- Understand whats expected of you in the October
3 11 review - Better understand our ISMS, especially recent
changes
6What to expect from the upcoming DOE ISMS review.
- Interviews
- You
- Staff
- Facility visits
- Document and records review
- Observe work
- They will want to see if we do
- what we say well do in our policy
- and requirements documents.
7What to expect from the upcoming DOE ISMS review.
(contd)
- Documents of interest
- Job Descriptions (http//www-group.slac.stanford.e
du/hr/forms.html), possibly Performance
Evaluations - JHAMs and AHAs (probably the most important)
- Work procedures
8ISMS Changes Drivers came from reviews of
SLACs ISMS.
- Unclear roles and responsibilities
- ESH Division
- SOC and CCs
- Perceptions of poor accountability
- Need for stronger self-assessment program
- Documents without recent review
- Weaknesses in work authorization
- And, we need to better train
- our supervisors and managers.
9What we changed in response to these concerns.
- ISMS/EMS Description
- Describes our ISMS and how Environmental
Management System is now integrated - ESH Manual
- Chapter 1 General Policy and Responsibilities

- More uniformity
10ISMS Five Core Functions
- Define work scope
- Analyze work for hazards
- Develop and implement controls
- - Engineering
- - Administrative
- - Personal Protective
- Equipment (PPE)
- 4. Perform work within controls
- 5. Feedback and continuous improvement
11ISMS Seven Guiding Principles
- Line Management is responsible for safety
- Roles and Responsibilities are clearly defined
- The line
- Every individual too
- Competence commensurate with responsibility
- Balanced priorities and integration of ESH
