1. Program Review June 2004 Good Morning
Irene Boczek, Associate Director of ES&H
SLAC’s mission is to do frontier, world-class science, respectfully, safely and environmentally protectively. My colleagues have explained how they have delivered on the commitment of world-class science – I am going to talk with you about how the institution delivers on the commitment to do it safely and protectively.

3. ES&H Performance Goals
Protect employees
Protect the public and the environment
Be good stewards of our environment
Systematically integrate ES&H into management and work practices at all levels throughout SLAC using the DOE’s ISMS
DOE and SLAC goals include:
Protecting employees
Protecting the public and the environment
Being good stewards of our environment
integrate ES&H into management and work practices at all within SLAC using ISMS
ISMS is a plan – do – check - improve system working within the guiding principles which emphasize for example responsibility, accountability…

4. ES&H Performance for 2003 As measured by the DOE
As measured against ourselves
As measured against the other science laboratories

5. Historical ES&H Performance
1998
Outstanding
1999
2000
2001
Excellent
2002
2003
SLAC ES&H performance has been outstanding 3 of last 4 years.
During that same four year year period the total scores varied less than 1 % suggesting that this high level of performance has been consistent as well.

6. SLAC 2003 Performance Compared to Ourselves and other SC Labs
SLAC Lower that SC Average (last available data)
SLAC Change in Performance Over time
Comments
Total Recordable Case Rate
SLAC above SC average
DART Rate
Worker Radiation Dose X
4 fold reduction since 1995
Environmental Occurrences
None since 2002, have secured SLI funding to upgrade underground utilities
Hazardous Waste Generation (2001 data)
8 fold reduction since 1992
SLAC contributed 16% to the total amount generated by SC labs
Low Level Radioactive Waste Generation (2001 Data)
SLAC contributed less than 4% of the total amount
Estimated Hypothetical MEI
Less than 1/100th of EPA limit for air, and 5% of limit for prompt radiation; one of lowest SC labs
Occurrences (2002 Data)
2 fold reduction since 1999

7. Summary of ES&H Performance
As measured by the DOE
SLAC performance was rated “excellent” by DOE last year; and was rated outstanding 4 of the last 6 years
As measured against ourselves
SLAC performance is acceptable or has improved in 6 of the 8 categories
SLAC Accident Rate have increased
As measured against the other science laboratories
SLAC ES&H performance was better than the average of other SC laboratories in 5 out of 8 cases
SLAC Accident Rates are above the SC average
Within the SC Laboratories SLAC has performed favorably. SLAC performed better than the average in 6 of 9 performance criteria. In on eo fhte remaining three SLAC is well below regulatory limits and in another SLAC has imp[roved internal performance 8 fold in the last 10 years. That leaves the metric for environmental incidents. SLAC has had 4 environmental incidents since 2001 and is working to eliminate those in the future.

8. Accident History at SLAC

9. Accident Reduction Action Plan
Programs To Prevent Accidents in the Future
Improve the Responsibility and Accountability Systems for Accident Reduction throughout SLAC
Focus on Accident Prevention
Focus on Back to Health Programs
Convene a Director-led Accident Reduction Task Force

10. ES&H Performance Goals for 2004
Reduce accidents: Prepare and implement an accident reduction plan
Prepare a plan to correct and fund OSHA findings and implement plan
Implement new work planning process (job/area hazard analysis process) and improved management accountability system
Design and implement a new corrective action tracking system
Implement a chemical management system
Implement agreed upon remediation strategy and plan
Complete Type B Corrective Actions
Maintain DOE rating of “outstanding”

11. ES&H Performance Goals for 2004
Reduce accidents: Prepare and implement an accident reduction plan – plan being implemented
Prepare a plan to correct and fund OSHA findings and implement plan – plan being prepared
Implement new work planning process (job/area hazard analysis process) and improved management accountability system – on target
Design and implement a new corrective action tracking system – on target
Implement a chemical management system – on target
Implement agreed upon remediation strategy and plan – progress made
Complete Type B Corrective Actions – on target
Maintain DOE rating of “outstanding” – unlikely given accident rates
