Facilities shop supervisors were also given the opportunity to provide hazard information on the identification worksheets. Discrepancies found between the team members' and shop supervisors' worksheets were resolved by the team leader. Identification worksheet information was then entered into the IHA information management system and reviewed for quality. Identification worksheets are enclosed and are grouped by functional areas identified for the IHA process. The group leaders meet weekly with the Department Head for discussion of current support priorities, budget, and safety issues.
Committees exist at the staff, lead, and management levels, and meet at least monthly.
Each Division making up the Berkeley Laboratory has clearly defined lines of responsibility down to the working level. Competence Commensurate with Responsibilities Personnel possess the experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities that are necessary to discharge their responsibilities. Job assignments, including hires, are reviewed by line management and by the compensation group within Human Resources to ensure that the requirements and responsibilities of a job are matched by the experience, knowledge and skills of individuals selected for assignment. A performance expectation for managers and supervisors in the Division of Environment, Health and Safety is how well the talents, knowledge and skills of staff are matched to work assignments and responsibilities The Laboratory's training program ensures that each staff member, including participating guests, is adequately trained to participate safely in Laboratory activities. Evaluation of the responses by the Training Coordinator and the cognizant supervisor determines the training regimen needed to carry out work in a manner that protects the employee, co-workers, the public, and the environment.
