LLNL Emergency Management Plan Rev 24 January 2019 4.2.2 Heavy Construction Equipment A complete list of heavy construction equipment is available from the Facilities and Infrastructure Department(F&ID). 4.2.3 Decontamination Equipment The Fire Department, LLNL ES&H Teams, LLNL Field Monitoring Teams, and site Medical Decontamination Facility all have decontamination equipment/supplies available for emergency response. 4.2.4 Alarm Equipment Employee emergency alarm systems Employee emergency alarm systems at LLNL consist of the evacuation page and the nuclear criticality accident alarm systems. When an emergency occurs that could endanger the health and safety of personnel, employee alarm systems and protective actions are initiated either locally or site-wide, depending on the extent of the problem. Radiation alarm signal The radiation alarm signal is a clarion horn sound. This sound indicates a radiation emergency and is accompanied by rotating red/magenta beacon lights on the outside or inside of buildings that might be affected. Further instructions over the site evacuation page system or from the assembly point leader will be provided following the activation of a radiation alarm. Fire alarms Fire alarms are activated by automatic fire protection and/or detection systems such as sprinkler system water flow, smoke and heat detectors, or manual pull boxes. LLNL fire alarms are monitored continuously by ACRECC. Personnel will be notified of the activation of a fire alarm via the EVA system, controlled by ACRECC and the EMD Alarms Division. 4.2.5 Rescue Team Equipment The ACFD manages and maintains onsite apparatus and equipment used in firefighting, technical rescue, hazardous material and emergency medical responses. ACFD has the capability to respond to technical rescue incidents at LLNL. An ACFD Engine Company responds to known technical rescue incidents with hydraulic rescue tools, cribbing, and air rescue bags. If the incident were identified as a confined space incident, the HazMat vehicle would also respond, since it carries the specialized confined space rescue equipment. If the incident were identified as a trench and excavation search and rescue, ACFD will respond with their Heavy Rescue Unit that is housed at an offsite ACFD station. 4.2.6 Sanitation, First Aid and Survival Equipment Assembly points are equipped with basic first-aid supplies organized for response to a multi- casualty incident based upon the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment(START) system. There are approximately 100 boxes located throughout Site 200 and Site 300. 64
