Training (5.3)

SLAC Point of Contact

Personnel must read a one-time, short tutorial before being assigned as the SLAC point of contact (POC) for a service subcontractor or assuming any related responsibilities. This usually occurs during the purchase requisition phase. The tutorial requires the person to acknowledge and accept POC responsibilities upon completing the tutorial.

Note: The requirement to complete the POC tutorial does not apply to UTRs.

Employee Orientation to Environmental Safety and Health

All service subcontractors who work at SLAC for more than 60 days during a given year, and/or who need to take general employee radiological training (GERT) in order to enter radiological control areas unescorted, must take this course:

General Employee Radiological Training

Any service subcontractor who will need to enter a radiological control area (RCA) without an escort must take this course:

Safety Orientation for Non-SLAC Employees

Any individual who meets the following conditions

  • Performs work at SLAC for less than 60 days during a given year
  • Enters industrial or accelerator areas
  • Does not require access to RCAs

Must take this course:

Site-specific Safety Orientation

In addition to the above courses, individuals working at locations with specific hazards not covered in ES&H Course 396, Safety Orientation for Non-SLAC employees (SO), will complete a site-specific safety orientation. The SLAC point of contact will coordinate this training and will engage the services of the building or area managers as appropriate. In general, building managers will be asked to conduct site-specific orientation within buildings, and the area manager or the PM/FTSR will be asked to conduct the orientation for work conducted outside of buildings.

Other SLAC Courses

Based on the tasks and hazards identified during planning (see sections 5.1.2, “Risk Categorization”, and 5.1.3, “Planning and Document Review”), service subcontractors may be required to complete additional SLAC ES&H training courses as determined by the service subcontractor safety program manager in ES&H, the SLAC point of contact, or the UTR. (See Training: Training Needs Assessment Procedures. [pdf])

Trade-related Safety Training

Service subcontractors, labor service providers, and job shop agencies are responsible for their employees' trade-related safety training. When contracted personnel arrive at SLAC they must

  • Be skilled in their specific trade
  • Be knowledgeable of the applicable safety requirements for that trade
  • Be equipped with the proper PPE and tools to safely perform their work
  • Be physically ready to work
  • Have completed all administrative requirements such as medical exams

The basic safety rules applicable to each trade or service industry should already been known and understood by those contracted parties. SLAC's ES&H training is directly related to the unique SLAC-specific hazards that contracted personnel may encounter. SLAC-specific training will not absolve contracted parties from ensuring their employees have the general training, skill level, and safety knowledge needed to work safely and competently.
