LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 8 Implementation of the Emergency Management Core Program is accomplished through the following LLNL institutional documents approved by the Emergency Management Department Head: • DES-8310, LLNL Emergency Management Program Description • DES-8320, LLNL Fire Protection Program Description • GUID-8331, Emergency Preparedness and Response Guide • PRO-8301, Responding to Emergencies & Protective Actions Procedure • RID-8321, Fire Protection Institutional Requirements Interpretation Document The Emergency Management Program Administrator is identified in Section 12.1 of this Emergency Plan. Facility-Level Program A subset of the Emergency Management Core Program at LLNL is the Facility-Level Program, which prepares facility occupants for basic emergency response. Implementation Guidance for the Facility-Level Base Program describes the preparation of Facility-Level Emergency Plans (FLEPs), the selection of Building Emergency Coordinators (BECs) and optional Floor Monitors, as well as Emergency Management training for BECs, Floor Monitors, and building residents. Emergency planning is required for all facilities/buildings covered by the Emergency Management Core Program. At LLNL, this planning is accomplished through the development of FLEPs that account for how the ERO normally responds to specific facilities/buildings at LLNL and describe how employees will respond to different types of emergencies, specific worksite layout, structural features, and emergency systems specific to each facility/building. The FLEP must be kept in the workplace and be available to facility occupants for review. At a minimum, each plan includes procedures for reporting a fire or other emergency, exit routes and assembly locations, sheltering in place, emergency shutdown/operating critical plant operations before evacuation, accountability, and rescue or medical duties, if assigned. Each plan documents appointed BECs and optional Floor Monitors who have responsibility for overseeing the emergency preparedness and response activities in assigned facilities and for assisting facility occupants in understanding their responsibilities during a facility-level event. The Emergency Management Core Program is described in GUID-8331, Emergency Preparedness and Response Guide. Facilities with unique, specialized response requirements may have additional planning beyond what is detailed in this Emergency Plan. For instance, emergency planning for research animals at LLNL is addressed in accordance with Federal regulations and the LLNL Animal Program Disaster Plan (LLNL-TM-815244). Furthermore, medical waste actions are planned for in accordance with the California Medical Waste Management Act and LLNL annually-updated document Medical Waste Management and Emergency Action Plan for the LLNL Biosafety Level 3 Facility/Medical Waste Management and Emergency Action Plan for the LLNL Biosafety Level 2 (and Lower) Facilities (LLNL-TR-813384).
