6.0 Definitions6.1 Level I Emergency Response Incidental or incipient stage incidents that

can be effectively managed and mitigated by station personnel in the

immediate area and/or limited off-site emergency response assistance.

6.2 Level II Emergency Response Incidents that require a formalizedstation response by the stations emergency response organization,

specialized station personnel, and/or off-site responders.

6.3 Level III Emergency Response Major disasters that create a stationenvironment that to continue operations would severely endanger the lives of

station personnel, are beyond the capabilities of the station emergency

response organization, mandate evacuation of the station, and require a high

level of off-site response.

6.4 Control Strategy:6.4.1 Offensive Response to control the spill and/or release by patching,

plugging, or repairing equipment for the purpose of stopping the spill.

6.4.2 Defensive Response to confine the spill and/or release from a safedistance by damming, diking, or diverting to stabilize the incident

until response personnel trained in patching/plugging techniques can

respond.

6.4.3 Control Zones Designated areas at dangerous goods incidents,based on safety and degree of hazard.

6.4.4 Warm Zone Distances that are the initial recommended protectiveaction distances. These distances are adjusted for the specific

incident severity.

6.4.5 Hot Zone Area immediately surrounding a dangerous incidentwhich extends far enough to prevent adverse effects from the release

to personnel outside the zone.

6.5 Area Sample An air sample that is taken in a specific area to be used tol t i i t l iti b i d ( t l ) d


15/20

ERP--0


6.6 Excursion Sample (for personnel) A sample that is taken over a 30minute period that is expected to have the highest concentration for theduration of the job. In the event of an asbestos emergency this will be the

first 30 minutes after the incident. The air sampling pumps must be

calibrated between 0.5 liters/minute to 2.5 liters/minute and worn by the

response personnel.

6.7 Clearance Sample An area sample that is taken after the completion ofan asbestos abatement project. Normally used to verify that an enclosure can

be taken down or an area can be reoccupied. A fiber count of less than 0.01fibers/cc will be required for a final clearance. A clearance sample shall be

a high volume sample with a minimum of 1,200 liters.

6.8 Personnel Sample An air sample taken from the breathing zone of theemployee. The pump shall be calibrated between 0.5 liters/minute to 2.5

liters/minute. The pump is worn by the employee and the sampling period

includes the full shift or the entire time that he/she is in a regulated area.The 8 hour TWA (Time Wight Average) is calculated by averaging the

Excursion Sample with all other personnel samples taken.

6.9 Incipient Stage Early stage incident that can be safely and effectivelymanaged and mitigated by station personnel in the immediate area and/or

limited off-site emergency response assistance.

6.10 Evacuation Area Area designated as the station rally point or an areaannounced on the PA system and/or radios.6.11 Incipient Fire Fighting Fire Fighting performed inside or outside of an

enclosed structure or building when fire has not progressed beyond the

incipient stage.

6.12 Non-incipient Stage Events Occurrences that have gone beyondincipient stage and require the use of protective clothing or self containedbreathing apparatus or fire fighter is required to crawl on the ground or floor

to stay below smoke and heat.

6.13 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Clothing or equipment worn toprovide physical protection
