Director of SLAC National Accelerator LaboratorySafety is paramount at SLAC. We are actively updating procedures and processes to ensure safety is a priority across all directorates at the laboratory.
Work Planning Control (WPC) is a standardized process used to understand the scope of work, identify qualified workers, evaluate & control hazards, communicate hazards & controls to workers, authorize, coordinate & release work and perform it within established controls. The laboratory is taking aggressive steps to update our safety controls to meet our commitment to the DOE, Stanford, and especially you, the SLAC employee, in creating a safe work environment.
To stay informed of the latest updates, we encourage you to join our Slack channel and to provide any feedback you may have.
