LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 105 13 TRAINING AND DRILLS The goal of the ERO training program is to ensure that the ERO is prepared to carry out emergency response functions during an emergency. The ERO training program is administered in accordance with PPD plans for ERO training and the ES&H Manual Document 40.1, “Training Program Manual.” ERO drills are administered in accordance with PPD plans for ERO drills and exercises, and are covered in Section 14 of this Emergency Plan. There are two emergency management training program categories at LLNL: Emergency Preparedness Training and Emergency Response Organization Training. They are designed to meet the following goals: • Provide general instructions to the onsite population (including visitors and guest) regarding potential hazards based on the All-Hazards Survey, methods of alerting and protective actions that may be ordered • Provide training to members of the ERO, to include initial and annual refresher training • Provide problem solving drills to the members of the ERO to enhance their skills • Continually improve emergency management/emergency response training incorporating new ideas and lessons learned • Provide appropriate offsite agencies the opportunity to participate in selected LLNL training • Provide a cadre of trained evaluators and controllers for the drill/exercise program 13.1 Courses The actual functions performed and responsibility levels of the ERO position are used as the basis for an individual’s required training courses. Institutional training requirements for a specific position are approved by the LLNL training program committee and are identified in the Laboratory’s course catalog. Non-institutional courses may be scheduled as needed. 13.2 Training Requirements Each ERO training course is developed with terminal and enabling learning objectives that are contained in a course syllabus. The course syllabus also contains additional design elements such as duration, method of delivery, prerequisites and credit hours (where applicable) and retraining frequency. An outline and complete matrix of the ERO training courses and associated ERO drills are contained in PPD plans for ERO training.
