The objective of a Project Major Emergency Plan (PMEP) is to ensure that all members of the project s management are able to respond to a major emergency quickly and systematically, by following a sequential plan of action. There is no statutory requirement to include a PMEP within the Health and Safety Plan, but their value has been proved beyond doubt. The remainder of this chapter offers suggestions on the format and development of a PMEP.

In the event of an actual major release, anyone found in shelter in an area of high ground-level contamination (e.g., >1 R/hr) would be asked to leave-whether or not an emergency plan calls for it. The predetermined level of 1 R/hr conforms to the Environmental Protection Agency protective action guide of 1 to 5 rems projected whole-body dose. As noted earlier, evacuation at lower dose rates could be recommended on an ad hoc basis but for a very severe accident, the 1-R/hr level may be suitable as an initial predetermined "trip" level.
