WELCOME TO THE SAFETY REVIEW
COMMITTEE WEB SITE!
The
Safety Review Committee (SRC) performs research for and makes
recommendations to the Laboratory Director on the development
and implementation of Environment, Safety & Health (ES&H)
policy, guidelines, codes and regulatory interpretation.
It conducts reviews of special safety problems and provides
recommendations for possible solutions if requested to do
so by the Laboratory Director. The SRC also provides
advice and counsel to the Laboratory Deputy for Operations
by reviewing appeals from the Laboratory Divisions when any
Division and the Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S)
Division do not agree on the interpretation or application
of criteria, rules or procedures. Such advice and counsel
may include options for a resolution.
In
addition, the SRC chair, in cooperation with the Office of
Assessment & Assurance (OAA), is responsible for scheduling
and conducting the portion of institutional self-assessment
known as Management Environment, Safety & Health (MESH)
reviews. These reviews are designed to ensure management
systems consistent with Integrated Safety Management (ISM)
are in place in all Laboratory Divisions and that these systems
are leading to effective implementation of the Laboratory's
ES&H program. MESH reviews are triennial by division
and are conducted by an SRC sub-committee. All members
of the SRC are expected to serve on MESH sub-committees.
