A copy of these forms will also be submitted to the Safety Manager for review and he may also determine the need for potential changes to emergency response procedures. The Human Resources / Insurance Manager may also receive a copy of the ENV-08A form depending on the event. 1.4 The ENV-08A Status Matrix will be analyzed by the Technical Services Department on a semiannual basis to determine if any trends are developing which may require new or revised procedures. The Safety Manager may be involved in this semiannual trend analysis. Technical Services Department annually coordinates drills/tests of the emergency response procedures and equipment to maintain employee awareness and to ensure the effectiveness of the emergency response procedures, verify the proper functioning of alarms and emergency response equipment. A description of the drill/test and related information is documented on an Emergency Response Report Form (ENV-08A). The results of the testing are reviewed to identify the need for possible revisions to the emergency response procedures. An evaluation of responses to the drill/test will be documented on the Emergency Response Evaluation Form (ENV-08B).
