Training (5.3)

University Technical Representatives (5.3.1)

University technical representatives will meet the training requirements contained in the SLAC University Technical Representative Requirements and Procedures for Construction [pdf].

Subcontractors (5.3.2)

Subcontractor training requirements will vary depending on the duration, location, and type of type of work they are performing at SLAC.

Safety Orientation for Construction Subcontractors

Before starting work at SLAC, each construction subcontractor employee must complete this course:

• ES&H Course 375, Safety Orientation for Construction Subcontractors (SOC)

This construction safety orientation covers basic SLAC safety information such as emergency response and reporting, location of shelters, emergency exits, handling of spills, safety procedures, SLAC site safety rules, and the requirement for job safety analyses (JSAs). The training is web-based and can be completed prior to subcontractor personnel arriving onsite. On completion of SOC, a card attesting to course completion will be issued to each subcontractor employee. The card is valid for one year.

A challenge examination for SOC is available for those subcontractor employees whose annual training is within 30 days of expiration. Arrangements to take the examination must be made 48 hours in advance with the UTR. The employee will be asked to produce their previous orientation card for validation.

Site-specific Safety Orientation

Individuals working at locations with specific hazards (such as those identified in area hazard analyses [AHAs]) not covered in ES&H Course 375, Safety Orientation for Construction Subcontractors (SOC), will also complete a site-specific safety orientation. The UTR will coordinate this training and will engage the services of the building or area managers as appropriate. This includes confirming that additional training identified by PM in the statement of work is completed prior to starting work. In general, building managers will be asked to conduct site-specific orientation within buildings, and the area manager or the UTR will be asked to conduct the orientation for work conducted outside of buildings.

Employee Orientation to Environmental Safety and Health

All 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:

• ES&H Course 219, Employee Orientation to Environment, Safety, and Health (EOESH)

General Employee Radiological Training

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

• ES&H Course 115, General Employee Radiological Training (GERT)

Other SLAC Courses

Based on the tasks and hazards identified during planning (see Section Error! Reference source not found., "Error! Reference source not found."), subcontractors may be required to complete additional SLAC ES&H training courses as determined by the project manager. (See Training: Training Needs Assessment Procedures [pdf].)

Trade-related Safety Training

Subcontractors are responsible for their employees' trade-related safety training. The basic safety rules applicable to each trade 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.

Competent Person

Subcontractor employees serving as competent persons must have specific training in the area where they will perform the competent person role. The training and experience must be documented by the subcontractor and the documentation submitted before mobilization on SLAC property.

Recordkeeping (5.3.3)

Subcontractors must certify in writing that they have safety training records for each employee at the start of the project. When an employee completes additional training or a new employee arrives on site, additional training certification must be provided to the UTR. SLAC-specific training records will be maintained in a SLAC database. The subcontractor may be required to submit training certifications if any doubt about an employee's qualifications is raised.
