Custom requests (e.g., monthly LL reports to Fac Ops)
Reports (e.g, research requests for data analysis)
Weekly LL announcement to Lab
LLs targeted distributions to SMEs

Delivering LLs to staff at the point-of-need through….
Work plans (hazards analysis in F&O and research labs)
Training (on-line, classroom, technical work group)
Project management Procurement
(recommended hotplate models)Lab communications
(LLs part of plans / strategies)Lab policies / work controls
(LLs as real-life stories)First-line safety
(new ‘First Take’ tool/process)
25

Treat LL development process as a partnership with shared goals –
Team with requesting manager – hold scoping meeting to discuss facts, key staff messages, applicable Lab reqtsDiscuss how LL can help manager reinforce expectations of safety, quality, performance culture and “right” behaviors (e.g. “unexpected eruption”)
Cover timely business issues for target audiences – e.g., PMs, MSOs-- not addressed elsewhere Assure LL is valuable / actionable for their staff (e.g., “avoiding pitfalls that lead to cost overruns”)
Maximize LL for reuse in training, as reading assignments, future access by other staff / projects
