TITLE:	ES&H Manual
DOCUMENT ID:	4100 Appendix T2 Informal Safety Awareness Training

1.0 Purpose

Jefferson Lab encourages groups to perform safety awareness training on an informal basis. These sessions can take place during a tool-box, stand-up, or group meeting. They are used to provide safety mitigation examples that are specific and relevant to the group. This appendix defines two categories of informal safety awareness training and outlines key components to be incorporated.

2.0 Scope

The level and depth of each safety awareness session is dependent on the hazard, the individual’s experience, and the supervisor’s judgment.

The process steps for this procedure are performed in coordination with ES&H Manual Chapter 4100 Safety Training.

3.0 Responsibilities

NOTE: Management authority may be delegated at the discretion of the responsible manager.

3.1 Everyone at Jefferson Lab

· Apply the knowledge and skills acquired from safety awareness training at all times.

3.2 Supervisor/Subcontracting Officer’s Technical Representative (SOTR)/Sponsor

· Provide general and specific safety awareness training to augment general lab-wide concerns.

4.0 Expectations

Unless otherwise noted the Supervisor is responsible for ensuring the following expectations are met.

4.1 General Safety Awareness – includes the following elements:

· What is the hazard?

· How is it potentially harmful?

· How is it identified at Jefferson Lab?

· How can it be avoided?

· How can someone learn more about it?

· What should someone do in an emergency?

It is important to use site-specific illustrations and provide opportunities for questions. (For subject-matter topics see Toolbox Meetings.)
