The site survey and analysis should include a vehicular traffic plan that highlights areas for material deliveries, truck routes, parking, and building entries and exits. The site analysis should address traffic patterns of vehicles and pedestrians over 24-hour periods on normal workdays and weekends, physical protection and security features, building uses, and which persons are allowed access. Such a comprehensive review is necessary to permit an accurate survey of physical vulnerability and to put into place operational procedures for detection, delay, and assessment systems to protect physical assets and to protect operations on the campus or in a facility that could be interrupted or sabotaged. 

The purpose for estabhshing the IDLH level is to determine a concentration that permits sufficient time for a person to escape safely or to seek protection without incurring serious injury or irreversible health effects. In determining IDLH levels, the ability of a person to escape or seek protection was considered together with severe eye or respiratory irritation and other deleterious effects (e.g., disorientation or lack of coordination) that could prevent a timely escape. The IDLH level is the concentration at which the dosage received during a 30-min exposure without physical protection would cause minimal adverse health effects. However, the 30-min period is not meant to imply that people should stay in that contaminated environment any longer than necessary. In fact, every effort should be made to evacuate the locale immediately.
