Lesson Learned Overview

Overview

While conducting routine work operations employees often learn valuable lessons that, if shared, would benefit others. New and improved methods for saving time or initiating mitigation techniques to increase safety are examples of information that is valuable. Jefferson Lab encourages the distribution of this type of information and uses this Lessons Learned Database to capture and distribute content to relevant individuals.

 

Jefferson Lab has appointed a Lessons Learned Coordinator (LLC) who is responsible for inputting data. They are the first point of contact for questions or comments regarding this program.
