Line Managers and Supervisors

As described in directorate ISEMS plans, line managers and supervisors are responsible for conducting management walkthroughs, workspace compliance assessments, and triennial reviews of work processes and work spaces. They may also have a role in developing the annual ISEMS self-assessment report.

Safety Officers

Safety officers will accompany line managers and supervisors on management walkthroughs and workspace compliance assessments, when invited by the line and available.

SLAC Employees and Non-employees

SLAC employees and non-employees are responsible for conducting work safely and in compliance with all ES&H standards and requirements as translated through work authorizations and other forms of performance expectations. To ensure a robust assurance program, all SLAC staff and workplaces are always subject to assessments, oversight and other assurance activities. This policy on assurance is not in conflict with the SLAC respectful workplace policy. This section does not apply, however, to subcontractors who are subject to oversight and assessment activities delineated in other chapters.
