  1. Lessons Learned & Best Practices Melanie Gravois, Assurance & Quality Program ManagerKen Barat, Laser Safety OfficerLawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2008 LSO Workshop, Albuquerque, NM

  2. A given fact • I think all here at this meeting realize that the use of lessons learned can contribute in a positive way to any safety program. • It is of extreme use in laser safety • BEST Practice is an off shoot of Lessons Learned • Rather than learning from some ones mistakes, it allows users to share good practices and solutions to laser problems. • At LBNL we have combined these two into one program.

  3. What makes this better • The distinguishing features of the LBNL program are: • Users can submit LL or BP • All accepted LL or BP are automatically emailed to all staff who are identified working with the related hazard.

  4. Purpose of Lessons Learned –Best Practice • Prevent adverse operating incidents • Prevent the recurrence of significant adverse conditions/trends • Ensure ongoing improvement of safety and reliability • Expand the sharing of good work practices • Determine implementation strategies • Meet the mission and goals set forth by the Department of Energy (DOE)

  5. Program Elements • Used by all employees • Briefing development • Feedback • Centrally managed, with support from subject matter based “reviewers” • Communicated through an online database • Subscription-based emails tailored to training profiles or designated by management

  6. Process Flow Subject Matter Expert Review Office of Contract Assurance Review Disseminate to Target Audience Feedback from Target Audience Initiate Briefing Assess Program Effectiveness

  7. Target Audience • Driven by Subcategory • Pre-selected Defaults • Manual Addition of Recipients • Pre-set Distribution Lists

  9. Email that goes to staff • The following Best Practice briefing posted on 05/07/2008 has been sent to you automatically based on your Job Hazard Analysis responses and/or your Lessons Learned and Best Practices subscription preferences. • Title: IR Super Viewer Event: LBNL Event Best Practice No.: BP08-0001 Best Practice: Description: For viewing of Infrared (IR) laser beams one usually has to choose between an object one holds directly in the beam path, such as an IR card or burn paper or one that is held to the face. The typical IR viewer is held against ones eye, as one scans the optics on the table. A more user-friendly system has been developed and is being used by the LOASIS group of AFRD. The system i ... • Click the link below for the complete briefing: http://isswprod.lbl.gov/lessonslearned/browse/preview.aspx?id=633 • Please contact the following subject matter experts if you have any questions regarding this briefing: Barat,Kenneth L(KBarat@lbl.gov) • Explain JHA

  10. Reviewing/Approving Briefings • Standard Reviews • Dictated by the Subcategory selected • One Subcategory Selected: • IF Initiator ≠ SME, THEN SME Review is Required • IF Initiator = SME, THEN SME Review is not Required • > One Subcategory Selected: • IF Initiator ≠ SME, THEN SME Review From Each Subcategory is Required • IF Initiator = SME, THEN SME Review From the Other Subcategories is Required • OCA Review for all Briefings • Adding Reviewers • Initiator or Reviewer can Add Additional Reviewers • Select “Add” Button • Chose Reviewer

  11. Completing Feedback Forms • Auto-sent to 10% of Target Audience • ≤ 1/Month • Completed w/in 5 Business Days • Results sent to the Reviewer • Available to any User
