New To ES&H 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) based on training identified with you while going through the Job Hazard Analysis and Mitigation (JHAM) process.

  • 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)?
EOESH is required for anyone who will work at SLAC 60 days or longer in a year. This applies regardless of worker status (employee, user, job-shopper, sub-contractor). 

  • If you need unescorted access to a radiological controlled area (RCA), you must take both EOESH and course 115 - GERT. This is regardless of the time you will spend at SLAC.
  • If you are working at SLAC for less than 60 days during a given year, will be entering Industrial or Accelerator Areas, but will not require access to radiological controlled areas, then you must take Course 396, Safety Orientation for Non-SLAC Employees.
I have a contractor/vendor who needs to take SON or EOESH/GERT training; do they need to have a SLAC ID number?
Yes. Please refer to the following link for more information:
