Purpose
Programs (chapters) and associated procedures (appendices) contained within the Environmental, Safety, and Health (ES&H) Manual are reviewed and approved minimally every five years, or as often as necessary, to provide safety, environment, and health requirements that reflect current standards and requirements. This program provides the responsibilities, and outlines the process by which these reviews are performed.
Jefferson Lab allows 90 days, after
content approval, for Divisions/Departments to implement new requirements. If additional time is needed, a work control
document, in the form of an Operational Safety
Procedure (see ES&H
Manual Chapter 3310 Operational Safety Procedure Program), is
required. This document is approved by the
Associate Director/Division Manager and the Laboratory Director and must ensure
equal or greater protection.
2.0
Scope
The Associate Director – Environmental, Safety, Health, and
Quality (ESH&Q) owns the ES&H Manual and has
ultimate subject matter determination authority. Upon completion of the review process
ES&H chapters are approved by the Laboratory Director and his designates.
All members of the Director’s Safety Council and Division Safety Officers (DSC/DSO) are provided an opportunity to review requested substantive changes to the ES&H Manual content prior to approval and implementation.
All content remains in effect, even after the expiration date, until a revision has been approved.
The definitive version of the ES&H Manual is accessible via Jefferson Lab’s on-line website. For the most current version, access the
document through the EH&S Manual – Table of
Contents.
