materials, acid suits, encapsulating hazardous materials suits, self-contained breathing apparatus, test kits, decontamination showers, and hazardous materials reference information. The vehicle is maintained on a regular basis to ensure that it is operational at all times. The Fleet Management maintenance crew performs preventative maintenance checks according to the recommended factory schedule. 11.0 EVACUATION PLAN The evacuation plan for Site 300 has been established to ensure safe and rapid evacuation or relocation of employees to safe areas during an emergency. The plan is updated and revised as necessary to ensure that a viable plan of action is maintained. An evacuation drill is held at least annually. In the event that a hazardous waste management area requires evacuation, all personnel in the area are evacuated safely and re -assembled at designated, safe areas assigned to that work area. Employees are trained to assemble in these areas. 11.1 Notification The Facility Manager, Representative, Senior Fire Officer, IC, Site 300 Manager or their designated alternates can order evacuation of a building and adjacent area if, in their judgment, a hazard or potential hazard exists. The EWSF and EWTF personnel follow the Self help Plan procedures during an emergency. Emergency evacuation notification of any Facility at Site 300 is made on the LLNL site -wide emergency paging system, through radio dispatch announcements, and/or through verbal instructions from the Facility Manager, Representative, or Facility personnel. Alternate methods of communication include telephone, radio announcements, or verbal directions by the person in charge. Individual discretion is used if it appears that evacuating the building would increase injury potential. In that case, a sheltered location, such as a control room, is sought. 11.2 Evacuation Routes 11.2.1 Hazardous Waste Management Facilities Designated evacuation routes and alternate routes are posted in the Facilities. Evacuation maps for Site 300 Facilities are shown in Appendices I-1 (page I-1-10), I-2 (page I -2-I 1), I-3 (page I- 3-19) and I4 (page I-4-10). 11.2.2 Evacation From LLNL Site 300 An event requiring evacuation could be caused by an onsite or offsite emergency, such as an earthquake, fire, explosion, or major toxic material release. The LEDO or Site 300 Manager is authorized to implement area or site -wide evacuation procedures if deemed necessary after receiving a situational assessment from the IC. The Fire Department Chief, as IC, controls the onsite emergency; and the Protective Force controls personnel. If a major emergency requires the evacuation of personnel from all or part of Site 300, the Protective Force Division, under the direction of the IC, implements actions to control evacuating personnel, protect the onsite emergency scene, and coordinate activities with outside police organizations. Coordination with outside law enforcement agencies is also necessary so that traffic exiting Site 300 is allowed to flow in an orderly fashion away from the threat and into the outlying community.
