Citizen. Refers to SLAC employees generally, who may be appointed by the laboratory director to serve on a citizen committee because they possess special expertise, experience, or judgment in an area of ES&H
Citizen committee. A committee made up of SLAC employees, that is, citizens, with expertise in some ES&H subject area. The laboratory director looks to citizen committees to review descriptions, designs, and fact sheets of proposed activities and ensure that hazards are adequately analyzed and will be adequately controlled, and that the planned activity conforms with SLAC ES&H policy and requirements.
ES&H policy. Refers to a document that translates an environment, safety, and health standard into manuals, procedures, and work process descriptions for all staff at SLAC to follow. SLAC fully expects that directorate and departmental procedures will frequently be developed to help implement ES&H policy. The following SLAC documents contain the primary ES&H policies:
Fact sheet. Refers to a comprehensive description of a significant and major new activity that guides CCs through their review and approval processes. The fact sheet must include the hazard analysis, the proposed system of controls that eliminate or adequately mitigate potential hazards, and an explanation of how the activity will conform to SLAC ES&H policy and requirements. No format is specified for fact sheets as the needs of the citizen committees are diverse. Fact sheets should be written with an eye towards the citizen committees likely to review the proposed activity.
Hazard. Any activity having a potential adverse impact on human health, the environment, or property
New activity, major. A proposed new experiment, project, test beam, facility construction or facility modification that, owing to its size, budget, complexity, or importance, warrants a full SOC review. It also requires the review of more than one CC.
New activity, significant. A proposed new experiment, project, test beam, facility construction or facility modification where hazards are significant and not adequately addressed by existing ES&H policy and requirements but confined to one CC's area of responsibility, such that full SOC review is unnecessary.
Safety officer. Subject matter expert in a hazard of special concern, appointed by and reporting directly to the laboratory director
