ES&H Policy StatementES&H Policy Statement(http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/isms/eshpolicy.html)

We have renewed our commitment to safety.


Why 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


The ISMS Implementation review is important to SLAC’s future.

• DOE re-assessments of a contractor’s ISMS

are rare

• Appreciate how the Office of Science is

focused on SLAC safety performance

I’m optimistic that each of

you will represent our ISMS well.


1. Understand what’s expected of you in the October 3 – 11 review

2. Better understand our ISMS, especially recent changes

Goals of Today’s Training


What 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 we’ll do in our policy

and requirements documents.


What to expect from the upcoming DOE ISMS review. (cont’d)

• Documents of interest

» Job Descriptions (http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/hr/forms.html), possibly Performance Evaluations

» JHAMs and AHAs (probably the most important)

» Work procedures


ISMS Changes – Drivers came from reviews of SLAC’s ISMS.

• Unclear roles and responsibilities» ES&H 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.


What we changed in response to these concerns.

• ISMS/EMS Description» Describes our ISMS and how Environmental

Management System is now integrated

• ES&H Manual» Chapter 1 – General Policy and Responsibilities» Chapter 2 – Work Authorization» Chapter 31 – Institutional ES&H Committees

• Directorate ISMS Implementation Plans» New organization» More uniformity


ISMS Five Core Functions

1. Define work scope2. Analyze work for

hazards3. Develop and

implement controls- Engineering- Administrative- Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE)

4. Perform work within controls

5. Feedback and continuous improvement


ISMS Seven Guiding Principles

1. Line Management is responsible for safety

2. Roles and Responsibilities are clearly defined

» The line» Every individual too

3. Competence commensurate with responsibility

4. Balanced priorities and integration of ES&H

5. Identification of ES&H standards6. Tailored controls7. A system of operations

authorization


Chapter 1 – General Policy and Responsibilities

• Line management is responsible and accountable for » Protecting

– Workers– The public– The environment– Property

» Integrating ES&H into work– Big projects to routine daily tasks

» Complying with laws, standards, and SLAC ES&H Policy and requirements

» Authorizing work

• The responsibility and accountability of each individual is no less important.


Remember We All Signed This: Remember We All Signed This:



• The ES&H Division’s role» Provide you

– Services

– Counsel

– Expertise

» With your involvement, select ES&H standards and ensure an even implementation

» Provide essential central services, e.g.– Radiation Safety including dosimetry

– Environmental monitoring

– Waste Management

– Medical Services

– Emergency Services



• A safe work authorization system relying on

» JHAMs and AHAs

» Approvals by – Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Safety Officers

– Citizen Committees

– Safety Assessment Documents

– Jointly approved work

While permits and approvals are required,

they do not relieve line management of its

responsibility for assuring work is safe.


Chapter 1 – General Policy and Responsibilities (cont’d)

• Supervisor responsibilities

» Complete JHAMs (https://www-internal.slac.stanford.edu/esh/SLACsafety/jham/JHAM_policy_final.pdf, and https://www-internal.slac.stanford.edu/esh/SLACsafety/jham/)

– Supervisor and individual do together

– In a real sense, it defines a safe operating envelope within which work is authorized

– Discuss Area Hazard Analyses that apply

– Remember non-routine JHAMs

– May include add’l AHAs.



• Supervisor responsibilities (cont’d)

» Set ISMS goals for employees– Section V, Employee Performance Evaluation form

(http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/hr/forms/2005_employee_perf_eval

1.doc)– SLAC Safety Values and Expectations (http://www-

group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/eshvalues.html)

» Specify ES&H training – SLAC Training Assessment (STA) must be updated

each May 1 (very important), Job Descriptions too

– Job-specific training not administered by ES&H Division



• ISMS Requirements for Individuals» Complete the JHAM and STA processes with

supervisor

» Complete required ES&H and job-specific training

» Demonstrate an understanding of ES&H Manual chapters 1 and 2 and other chapters applicable to their work

» Understand “stop unsafe activity” responsibility

» Understand the Five ISM Core Functions and how they apply to all work

» Proceed with work only after line management has authorized it, work within controls



• Individuals with important roles and responsibilities» Project Manager*

– Responsible and accountable for all ES&H aspects of projects

– Oversee UTRs, especially the ES&H aspects – Authorize commencement of project work following

Chapter 2, “Work Authorization”– Document and implement technical and safety

requirements– Control change processes and ensure ES&H

considerations (hazards, hazard controls, and work authorizations) are reassessed when work scope changes

– Can stop unsafe activities in which the sub-contractor is engaged

*These represent a high-level a summary. Extensive R2A2s are presented in the draft chapter 42, Construction Safety.



• Individuals with important roles and responsibilities (cont’d)

» UTR (University Technical Representatives)*– Oversees field operations and effects rigorous ES&H

oversight

– Ensures sub-contractor has required work permits and approvals

– Reviews sub-contractors work hazard analyses

– Attends sub-contractor safety meetings

– Can stop unsafe activities in which the sub-contractor is engaged

*These represent a high-level a summary. Extensive R2A2s are presented in the draft chapter 42, Construction Safety.


Chapter 2 – Work Authorization

• Describes how ISMS is implemented at five different levels of work authorization

1. Work for individuals - JHAM process done by supervisor with employee involvement

– It is both ISM implementation and work authorization

2. Hazard-specific permits and approvals, e.g.

– Confined space

– Burn permits

– Electrical Work Plans

– Excavation or penetration projects

3. SOC and CC approvals (Chapter 31 of the ES&H Manual)


Chapter 2 – Work Authorization (cont’d)

• Describes how ISMS is implemented at five different levels of work authorization

4. Safety Assessment Documents (DOE Accelerator Facility Safety Order, 420.2B)

5. Joint work approval Line management appoints facility/area/building

managers When CEF or another SLAC element must enter a

facility, area, or building, managers must jointly authorize the work



• “Stop Unsafe Activity” responsibility and authority for individuals, both by SLAC Policy and the Collective Bargaining Agreement

» Individuals are empowered to refuse to work on or stop an activity they are involved in if they believe it presents an “imminent hazard”

» Imminent hazard – An activity likely to result in– Death

– Serious injury

– Significant environmental or property damage



• “Stop Unsafe Activity” authority for individuals, both by SLAC Policy and the Collective Bargaining Agreement» An Individual can tell other individuals (including contractors) to

stop an activity with an imminent hazard as well– Relies on our respectful workplace policy

(http://home.slac.stanford.edu/welcome/respectful.html)– If no response, concerned individual should communicate to

– Someone in the management chain of the unsafe individual– Project Manager or UTR if a contractor is involved– Any manager or supervisor– Security, X2551– ES&H Hotline (x4641)

– http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/concern.html

» Line management must investigate such occurrences and, if warranted, re-authorize such the activity



• “Broader “stop activity” authority vested in» All managers and supervisors» Safety Officers (only as described in designation letters)» Chairpersons of Citizen’s Committees (as described in

Chapter 31)» Project Managers and UTRs (limited to sub-contractor

activities)

• Concerns over hazards not rising to “imminent”» Should attempt to resolve with their line management» ES&H Hotline (x4641)» ES&H Safety Concerns (X4544 and http://www-

group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/concern.html)

» ES&H Director at any time



• If a represented employee refuses to work because of an abnormally dangerous condition, and you disagree that the work is unsafe

» You must follow the procedures outlined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement and work with the Local Safety Committee to resolve the issue

» Contact ER for assistance, X2355


What’s new - EMS

Environmental Management System:

• Required to be part of SLAC’s ISMS as a system for achieving environmental goals.


What you need to know about SLAC’s EMS

• Applies ISMS Five Core Functions to evaluate how your job impacts the environment

• Use JHAM and AHA to identify environmental hazards and mitigations

• DOE recognizes ISMS has nearly all of the EMS elements in place

• Make environmental stewardship a priority

• There will be an EMS Manual» Will serve as a “roadmap”» Fill in the few gaps where EMS

requirements not met by ISMS.


Aspects of EMS.

• Well reflected in our ES&H Policy Statement (http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/isms/eshpolicy.html)


Aspects of EMS.


• New expectations

» Common sense– Recycling and waste sorting


Aspects of EMS.




– Conserve resources/energy - turn off lights


Aspects of EMS.




– Conserve resources/energy - turn off lights

– Buy items with recycled content, energy efficient equipment


Aspects of EMS.


• New expectations» Common sense

– Recycling and waste sorting– Conserve resources/energy - turn off lights– Buy items with recycled content, energy

efficient equipment– Print double-sided, use scrap paper

» Hazard controls to protect the environment– Chemical storage/handling to prevent

release– Materials substitution– Mini/micro scale experiments where possible


A lot to absorb, we understand that.

• Your “tri-fold” is a hard-hitting summary of our ISMS – keep it handy

• Remember you are not in this alone – rely on your supervisor and your ES&H Coordinator

»PSD – Ian Evans

»PPA – Frank O’Neill

»Operations – Janice Dabney

»LCLS – Mike Scharfenstein

• Rely too on the ES&H Division
