What are the minimum ESH training requirements?

SLAC Employees - All employees at SLAC are required to take:

  • Course 219 - Employee Orientation to Environmental Safety and Health (EOESH) - Completion of this course is sufficient to receive a SLAC ID badge and access most non-radiologically controlled areas at SLAC without an escort. This course has a refresher training requirement of two years.
Non-SLAC Employees - The minimum training required for non- SLAC employees to receive a SLAD ID badge and work unescorted in non-radiologically controlled areas is one of the following two courses:
  • Course 375 - Construction Safety Orientation - This course is required for all construction sub-contractors at SLAC.
  • Course 396 - Safety Orientation for Non-SLAC Employees (SON) - This course is required for all non-construction subcontractors, vendors, users, emeritus staff, collaborators, visiting scholars, scientists, researchers and students who require a SLAC ID badge and/or work unescorted at SLAC in more than just office areas.
Note:
  • Additional training will be required to access radiologically controlled areas.
  • Performing work which involves hazardous activities and/or requires access to areas on site where hazards exist will require additional Work Planning and Control (WPC) training.

I'm a new employee; what classes do I need to take?
The type of work you do determines what ES&H courses you are required to take. It is the responsibility of your supervisor to fill out a SLAC training assessment (STA) identifying training as required based on tasks associated with your job.

  • Please see the ES&H Training Course catalog for information on how to register for a specific course.
  • If you don't know who is responsible for your training evaluation, ask your supervisor or your SLAC point-of-contact.  Each department may handle STA-entry differently. If you don't know your STA contact, ask your ES&H Coordinator.
I'm not an employee; do I have to take course 219 Employee Orientation to ES&H (EOESH)?
No, EOESH is required for  SLAC employees only. If you are not a SLAC employee, then you must take Course 396 - (SON) Safety Orientation for Non-SLAC Employees.
  • If you need unescorted access to a radiological controlled area (RCA), you must also take course 115 - GERT.
I have a contractor/vendor who needs to take training; do they require a SLAC ID number?
Yes. Please refer to the following link for more information:
