[All_staff] JLab Readies for Sept. 6-9 Safety Audit: Message from ESH&Q AD M. Logue

[deborah magaldi]

Jefferson Lab is seeking OHSAS 18001(Occupational Health and Safety 
Assessment Series) recognition of its Occupational Safety and Health 
Program. OHSAS 18001 is the international standard for safety & health 
programs.

The registration process consists of three steps, and Jefferson Lab will 
undergo the final step – a registration audit – Sept. 6-9.

The first two steps were positive, but it was noted that some employees 
were not familiar with the lab's Environmental, Safety, Health and 
Quality (ESH&Q) Policy. Please take a few minutes to familiarize 
yourself with the updated policy (attached pdf).

During the registration audit, two assessors will visit work areas to 
see if we are following our work planning and control process. If they 
speak with you, please view the occasion as a safety observation and 
answer their questions to the best of your ability. Do not be concerned 
if you do not know the answer to a question. You are helping to identify 
the strengths and weaknesses of our program.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Mary Logue
Associate Director- ESH&Q

P.S.: Safety and policy bulletin board maintainers are asked to post the 
attached ESH&Q Policy statement on bulletin boards, in place of the 
Jefferson Lab Policy Statement on Environmental, Safety, Health & 
Quality dated 1/26/2009.
