Scope
DOE Order 420.1C titled FACILITY SAFETY Chapter II Fire Protection outlines requirements for a comprehensive fire protection program that JSA must provide. The following paragraph from this section identifies the staffing requirements:
Paragraph 3. d. (2)
(a) Staffing. The contractor must ensure it has access to qualified,
trained fire protection staff (that includes fire protection engineers,
technicians, and firefighting personnel) needed to implement the requirements
of this chapter. JSA accomplishes the staffing requirements different than the
majority of the DOE Office of Science facilities due to the relatively small
size of Jefferson Lab and its location within the City of Newport News.
The City of Newport News Fire Department (NNFD) provides the full range of emergency services required to support Jefferson Lab operations and hazards. The capabilities of the NNFD are reviewed periodically and reported in the Baseline Needs Assessment (BNA). The BNA document is available in the Fire Protection folder in Docushare.
The scope of this Supplement is to provide detailed qualifications of the JSA Staff that comprise the fire protection staff.
