The ERO training program is administered <br />in accordance with Emergency Programs Organization plans for ERO training and the ES&H <br />Manual Document 40.1, “Training Program Manual.” ERO drills are administered in accordance <br />with Emergency Programs Organization plans for ERO drills and exercises, and are covered in <br />Section 14 of this plan. <br />There are two emergency management training program categories at LLNL: Emergency <br />Preparedness Training and Emergency Response Organization Training. They are designed to <br />meet the following goals: <br />• Provide general instructions to the onsite population (including visitors and guest) <br />regarding potential hazards based on the All-Hazards Survey, methods of alerting and <br />protective actions that may be ordered <br />• Provide training to members of the ERO, to include initial and annual refresher training <br />• Provide problem solving drills to the members of the ERO to enhance their skills <br />• Continually improve emergency management/emergency response training incorporating <br />new ideas and lessons-learned <br />• Provide appropriate offsite agencies the opportunity to participate in selected LLNL <br />training <br />• Provide a cadre of trained evaluators and controllers for the drill/exercise program <br />13.1 Courses <br />The actual functions performed and responsibility levels of the ERO position are used as the <br />basis for an individual’s required training courses. Institutional training requirements for a <br />specific position are approved by the LLNL training program committee and are identified in the <br />Laboratory’s course catalog. Non-institutional courses may be scheduled as needed. <br />13.2 Training Requirements <br />Each ERO training course is developed with terminal and enabling learning objectives that are <br />contained in a course syllabus. The course syllabus also contains additional design elements such <br />as duration, method of delivery, prerequisites and credit hours (where applicable) and retraining <br />frequency. An outline and complete matrix of the ERO training courses and associated ERO <br />drills are contained in Emergency Programs Organization plans for ERO training.
