Memorandum of Understanding

Safety Responsibilities for CSEE Participants

Safety is an overriding consideration for all work involving student participants at the Berkeley Lab.  In addition to assuring the safety of student employees, the Berkeley Lab wants to instill in student employees an understanding of the safety requirements and processes they will encounter throughout their careers following graduation.  Based on these considerations, the undersigned agree to the following safety arrangements:

1.	The Student will follow all applicable Berkeley Lab safety requirements.  In case of doubt, the Student will consult with the Mentor before proceeding.
2.	The Mentor will identify all personal protective equipment the Student will require and will assure that such equipment is available to the Student, and that the student knows when and how to use it.
3.	The Mentor will not assign any task to the Student until the Mentor has verified that the student has the knowledge, skills and physical ability to perform the task safely.  At a minimum, this will involve an initial safety orientation to the Student’s work area and work assignments by the Mentor.
4.	Based on the work the Student will perform, the Mentor and the Student will complete a Job Hazard Questionnaire (JHQ) as soon as possible following completion of the New Employee Orientation (EHS 010).  The Mentor and the CSEE Supervisor will confer concerning the completion of training identified on the JHQ.
5.	Until required training identified through the JHQ process or otherwise is completed, the Student may perform corresponding tasks only under close supervision of the Mentor, i.e., with the full knowledge of the Mentor and while in the same room or area.
6.	The Mentor will provide appropriate safety supervision for the Student throughout the Student’s stay at the Berkeley Lab.  
7.	The Mentor may delegate safety supervision as needed to the following qualified Laboratory employees:
