      Thank you for sharing your feedback about working at SLAC. Our Environment, Safety & Health division is known across the lab as a great partner and collaborator - we’re glad to have you as part of the team. As a lab that was founded more than 60 years ago, we certainly have areas of the site that need upgrading.
