The DLC-EHS Coordinator plays a key role in the EHS MS and receives authority from the DLC Head to manage the EHS-MS functions within the DLC. This course will examine the specific requirements of the Coordinator position, review the web based Pi/Space registration, training, and level 2 inspection programs including reports, and a discussion with current EHS Coordinators of the skills and techniques ( rep meetings, web page, auto emails) that have proven valuable in meeting the expectation of this role. Participants will be encouraged to share experiences, discuss strengths and examine opportunities to improve delivery of EHS-MS requirements to the DLC.
