Independent Assessment of Work Planning and Control at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted an independent assessment of work planning and control (WP&C) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) from February to April 2026. Stanford University manages and operates SLAC for the DOE Office of Science. The assessment focused on elements of SLAC's implementation of the integrated safety management (ISM) core functions (define the scope of work, identify and analyze hazards, develop and implement hazard controls, perform work within controls, and provide feedback and continuous improvement). The assessment also evaluated the effectiveness of Stanford University's contractor assurance system (CAS) and flowdown of safety and health requirements to subcontractors.
