Speaker
Description
Students at Jefferson Lab are not considered to have sufficient practical work experience or hazard-recognition skills for the equipment or processes to which they may be exposed. They require on-the-job observation and coaching to a greater degree than would a new employee with prior experience. Students are assigned a Mentor while at Jefferson Lab. Mentors are expected to inform Students of the hazard issues associated with their tasks. Students also receive training to understand and mitigate these hazards. Mentors provide coaching and on-the job observation or assign a local supervisor to ensure that individuals who are considered "Students" receive the proper training, coaching, and oversight. The presentation will provide insight into the strategic approach regarding responsibilities and requirements necessary to ensure Student safety.
