Any new potentially hazardous operation must be thoroughly evaluated by the LLNL <br /> Environmental, Safety&Heath(ES&H)Team prior to commencement. In addition, all Facilities <br /> are subject to audits and evaluations by various subject matter experts in the fields of <br /> environmental, safety and health. Results of these audits are forwarded to the appropriate Facility <br /> Manager so that any deficiencies can be corrected. <br /> 3.4 Personal Protective Equipment <br /> Personal protective equipment(PPE), including gloves, goggles,coveralls, and other protective <br /> clothing, are available for use during emergency situations. Each Facility maintains PPE <br /> appropriate for the waste managed at the Facility. PPE and emergency equipment are described <br /> in Appendices I-1,I-2,and 1-3. Guidelines for PPE use are included in Appendix B. <br /> 3.5 Engineering Controls <br /> Forklifts are used to move hazardous waste loaded on pallets or skids. Drum dollies are used to <br /> move individual drums.The paving in loading and unloading areas has been constructed to <br /> facilitate the ease and safe access of equipment transporting waste containers to the storage units <br /> and to minimize accidents during loading and unloading operations. <br /> The explosives waste treatment operations are performed under remote operation with the <br /> control and observation by television monitor and surveillance cameras. Remote operations <br /> minimize hazards to personnel during treatment operations.Additional details on the Facility <br /> design,construction and operations are provided in the Facility's Operation Plan. <br /> 3.6 Aisle Space <br /> Aisle space is always maintained in the Facilities to allow unobstructed access to hazardous <br /> waste containers. <br /> 3.7 Self-help Program <br /> LLNL maintains a Self-help Program for those large incidents when onsite emergency response <br /> resources needed. Whenever a major emergency event occurs and LLNL's Onsite Emergency <br /> Response Organization is needed, Self-help Plans are implemented. Each department/division is <br /> required to prepare and keep its own employee emergency response plan. The Plans are designed <br /> to collect and safeguard personnel and visitors during site-wide emergencies. <br /> LLNL Site 300 has designated Assembly Points,where Assembly Point Leaders control the local <br /> emergencies while awaiting direction or assistance from the Onsite Emergency Response <br /> Organization. Personnel are instructed to meet at this Assembly Point if an evacuation <br /> were necessary. <br /> 4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES DURING AN EMERGENCY <br /> In most cases,the Site 300 emergency service elements are capable of managing operational <br /> emergencies at the Site.
