Appendix T1 Emergency
Response Procedures |

|
|||
Jefferson Lab has established
this general, but effective, emergency response procedure to be used as the
basis for action during an emergency situation in the absence of management
direction. Certain individuals, trained in emergency response, have priority
access to buildings and are authorized to respond according to their training.
Jefferson Lab recognizes
that listing the requirements for every possible emergency would be
prohibitive, but has identified a variety
of plausible situations and subsequent actions for convenience.
For general lab-wide emergency
procedures:
For Accelerator emergency
procedures:
2.0
Scope
As part of Jefferson Lab’s training program
emergency drills are performed periodically.
The process steps outlined in this document are followed for both
practice and actual events.
Jefferson Lab’s Fire Protection
Program (See Chapter
9: Evacuation Drills) has designated Evacuation Drill Coordinators for
every major building on-site. These
individuals have been trained to perform their assigned duties in accordance
with DOE G 151.1-4 – 7.3.8 Accountability.
NOTE: Management
authority may be delegated at the discretion of the responsible manager.
·
Know the location of the

how; and when; to use them.
·
Know
the primary and alternate egress path and emergency assembly locations for your
work area.
·
Notify
your Supervisor/Subcontracting Officer’s Technical Representative
(SOTR)/Sponsor/Escort if you are unable to evacuate your work area in the event
of an emergency (e.g., unable to use stairs, unable to push an emergency door
open).
·
Know
the emergency response procedure(s) outlined in the ES&H Manual
specific to the hazard issues
encountered in your work area.
3.2
Supervisor/Subcontracting Officer’s
Technical Representative (SOTR)/Sponsor
·
Ensure
individuals under your authority know the location of the manual alarm pull
stations and any other emergency systems in their area; how, and when to use
them; and the appropriate response when activated.
·
Alert Facilities
Management of any building occupant with impaired mobility. Ensure an acceptable method of egress has
been established and understood prior to commencement of work.
·
Ensure individuals under
your authority have read and understand the specific emergency response
procedure(s) outlined in the ES&H Manual relevant to hazard issues
associated with their work.
Unless otherwise
stated, trained, and/or authorized, everyone at Jefferson Lab performs the
process steps outlined below.
·
Specific emergency avoidance procedures related
to specific hazards are outlined within appropriate chapters of the ES&H
Manual and are referenced in ES&H Manual 2410
Appendix T1 Hazard Issues List. Read
and follow these procedures to avoid creating an emergency situation.
·
Perform the process outlined in ES&H Manual 3210
Work Planning, Control, and Authorization Process to identify hazard issues
within your work area and establish appropriate mitigation controls.
Step
2:
Emergency Notification
·
Jefferson Lab is equipped
with numerous emergency notification systems.
Most common are audible alert devices and warning lights. These can be both manually or automatically
activated.
·
Anyone
activating an alarm within the accelerator site must report promptly to the
on-duty Accelerator
Crew Chief, cell 630-7050.
·
When alerted, everyone immediately
responds appropriately according to the identified situation:
·
Jefferson
Lab uses a variety of methods to communicate with its staff during an emergency
situation. Depending on the severity and
duration, these include, but are not limited to: site-wide text and e-mail;
face-to-face at the scene by authorized management staff; and postings and
stanchions. If unable to interpret
communications related to your activities during an emergency, contact your
supervisor or the Emergency Manager.
·
Ensure
visitors under your authority understand the situation and are escorted appropriately.
·
Follow the primary or alternate
emergency evacuation route to the muster point or other assembly location.
·
Call 911, then call
guard 5822.
Step 5:
Return to Work (“All-Clear”)
·
Do not leave muster point or assembly location,
or return to the laboratory until notified by the designated emergency staff
member (Evacuation
Drill Coordinator, Fire
Protection Engineer, or as otherwise directed by Laboratory Management.
·
Jefferson Lab recognizes
that certain individuals have additional specialized training in emergency response
situations. These individuals have
priority access to buildings in the event of an emergency and are authorized to
proceed as trained.
