HSS Review: Auditors Here This Week for Inspections

Members of the Department of Energy Health, Safety and Security (HSS) review team will be at Berkeley Lab all this week. Among the divisions slated for inspections are the Advanced Light Source, Life Sciences, Physical Biosciences, Chemical Sciences and Facilities. However, inspections may take place anywhere at the Lab during the review team’s visit, so all staff should be prepared. The team will use observation and interviews to assess whether employees understand what work they are authorized to do, what hazards are involved, and how to work safely. More>
