Definitions (Section 4)
 

Corrective action tracking system (CATS). System in which corrective actions and opportunities for improvement from elements of the ES&H Assurance System are recorded and responsible persons assigned

ES&H coordinator. An individual charged with helping line management implement the SLAC ISEMS in an organizational element of SLAC, chiefly one of the directorates

Line management. Officially designated managers and supervisors who have been entrusted with traditional authorities to manage science and operations programs in pursuit of the SLAC missions and objectives, make hiring decisions, manage employee performance, and provide a safe and environmentally sound workplace. Scientific programs are often built on people matrixed to a team. This creates shared responsibility for individuals by the supervisor of record and the matrixed supervisor that must be addressed through consultation between the two supervisors. Line management also includes other persons such as area and facility managers, responsible for administration of the line functions in both science and operations programs. Line management may designate another qualified person to perform specific duties, but remains responsible for that person's conduct.

Program director. Head of one of the SLAC directorates

Program manager. A SLAC division director, assistant division director, department head, or manager of a science or support program within one of the SLAC directorates or the laboratory director's office

Safety Management Records Tool (SMART). A tool used by line management to record results from walkthroughs, workspace compliance inspections, and procedure reviews

Safety officer. Subject matter expert in a hazard of special concern, appointed by and reporting directly to the laboratory director

Subject matter expert (SME). Staff possessing special expertise in an ES&H program, for example, industrial hygiene, confined space entry, or lead abatement. Some SMEs may be outside of the ES&H Division, for example, hoisting and rigging SMEs reside within the Facilities Department.

Work procedure. Tier 3 document that identifies work processes having a significant impact on any of the following: programs, financial systems, potential impacts on environment, safety, and health. Work procedures are the responsibility of the issuing directorate, division, department, group, or project line managers. Line management creates work procedures that will ensure quality, financial integrity, compliance, and safety. (See the SLAC Assurance Program Description [pdf].)

Work smart standards (WSS). The set of ES&H-related standards that Stanford University is contractually obligated to follow. DOE and Stanford University agree on the inclusion of these standards in the contract for operating SLAC because the standards are either required by law/regulation or otherwise significantly contribute to the protection of workers, the public, and the environment.
