Safety Officers

Safety Officers (SO) and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) are individuals at SLAC who are subject matter experts in hazards of special concern, appointed by the laboratory director or the Chief Safety Officer (CSO). SOs and AHJs report to the Chief Safety Officer.

SOs must be qualified professionals in their respective fields and have demonstrated experience in building partnerships and influencing directions across various levels of the organization in a facilitative manner. At the same time, they must have the ability to recognize and control hazards and prevent or stop unsafe or unauthorized work in their areas of responsibility.
