-- 71' - 4/100-8Network Practices (LDD) SNP-00 3.2 Control Center Personnel Sprint's control center personnel use the following instructions to identify an emergency response condition and to notify appropriate response personnel: 1. Upon receiving an emergency condition notification, Control Center personnel ask questions to determine the extent of the hazard, injury to personnel, and damage to equipment and the environment. Examples of questions to ask are as follows: What was released? Are there any injuries? How much was released (estimate)? Is it contained? Where was the release? Who is involved (name, organization, contact phone number, supervisor/manager's name and phone number,etc.)? Note: Control Center personnel use Sprint's Hazardous Condition Notification Form to record the notification information. 2. With local reporting personnel on the telephone line, control center personnel call 1-877-EHS-4HLP (347-4457) 24 hours a day. 3. Sprint's Environmental Health and Safety Department makes the decision to activate and deploy the contractor's field units or to handle the hazardous condition personally. (See Note.) Note: If control center personnel cannot reach Sprint's Environmental Health and Safety Department, they have the authority to activate the Emergency Response Contractor. However, this statement should not prevent control center personnel from attempting to notify Sprint's Emergency Response Team as soon as the condition is reported. Caution: Sprint is charged a substantial fee each time an Emergence Response Contractor is deployed. Avoid unnecessary call-outs. 3.3 Sprint's Environmental Health and Safety Department The following instructions are for Sprint's Environmental Health and Safety Department when responding to a hazardous condition alert: I. Upon hazardous condition notification, assume managerial and administrative control over the situation until the hazardous condition and its related issues are resolved. 2. Support Sprint and contractor personnel in assessing the situation and in determining the appropriate course of action. 3. Report and update hazardous condition status to the responsible Sprint organizations as required, i.e., Legal, Contracts,Finance,Network Operations Control Center,Sprint Engineering,Network key personnel,etc. 4. Perform representative and liaison functions with the appropriate local, state and federal agencies. 5. Report any accidental release of a hazardous substance to the National Response Center within 24 hours of knowledge of the release. 6. Communicate and oversee Sprint's Emergency Response Contractor's obligation to perform as specified in the National Services Contract Agreement. 7. Notify local and state agencies as required. Coordinate written follow-up reports as required by state and local agencies. 8. Issue contract orders and field change orders to coordinate contract and invoice approval procedures. Note: When available and appropriate, Sprint's Legal Department will be consulted prior to providing detailed information about the release or hazardous condition to federal,state or local agencies.
