During periods of high electric demand, JLab is to reduce its overall electric demand. This helps to ensure that periods of tight electricity supply on the grid don't turn into brown outs or power outages.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The lab will participate in a one-hour test to be held between 2-3 p.m. on Thursday. Designated lab personnel will be notified via e-mail, phone and/or pager. Upon notification, the lab will e-mail staff and users and request that unnecessary lights and electric loads be turned off. At the end of the annual test or an actual event, the lab will again e-mail staff and users.

These vendors offer many locations and generous hours of operation, so employees will have more flexibility in finding time to shop for glasses. Also, there should be a much quicker turnaround time after an order is placed, especially at LensCrafters, which offers same-day service in many cases. A purchase requsition is still required. Once approved, a form will be forwarded to the requestor to be taken to the store. For more information or to offer feedback once you have gotten new glasses through this program, contact Barbara Rice, x7238.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Work Observation Program Training </span></font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The Engineering Division will soon begin internal training on a modified version of the Dupont STOP program for work observations. This program combines the well-known Dupont STOP material with JLab-specific content to teach employees about the philosophy behind work observations, how to do the observations, how this fits into the lab's work planning processes and how the observation data is used. It is envisioned that this program will be a major part of our effort to acclimatize new employees to our safety culture as quickly as possible in anticipation of the large increase in manpower that will be needed to complete the 12 GeV project. As part of the training, class members will practice their observation skills, so staff should not be surprised if some work activities are observed multiple times. At this time, the class is limited to Engineering Division personnel, with a broader audience anticipated in the future. If you have questions about the program, contact Will Oren at x7344 or Bob May at x7632.</span></font></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">To access the full version of the JLab Weekly Briefs, visit: <a href="http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/index.html">http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/index.html</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div></body></html>
