Introduction\nPurpose.\nThe objective is to establish policies and assign responsibilities for implementation of the Richard B. Russell Agricultural Research Center (RRC) accident prevention program.\nResponsibilities.\nAs defined be the USDA Research, Education, and Economics (REE) Safety, Health, and Environmental Management program manual 160.0M June 2, 2011, program relevant responsibilities are as follows:\nThe Location Coordinator, along with the Research Leaders will:\nImplement, manage, monitor, and comply with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations to ensure safe, healthful, and environmentally protected workplaces.\nInform and hold subordinate supervisors responsible for implementing and managing the REE safety, health, and environmental requirements, and ensure that they and their employees are properly educated, trained, and prepared to carry out these responsibilities.\nProvide the necessary financial resources, training, equipment, facilities and management support to subordinate employees to ensure compliance with the Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.\nAcquire and/or appoint personnel (e.g., by direct hire, contract, collateral duty, etc.) to assist in solving safety, health, environmental, radiological and biological issues and to provide a safe and healthful work environment.\nFurnish location employees with places and conditions of employment that are free from recognized hazards. Ensure recognized hazards are abated, and, if abatement is beyond the resources or ability of /location, request resources from the next higher management level to abate them. If abatement cannot be immediately achieved, ensure interim protective measures are in place to protect employees from illness and injury.\nEnsure that the Occupational Medial Surveillance Program and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) are available for the identification and treatment of employees’ work-related illness and/or personal difficulties that may affect their safety, health, and/or productivity.\nRespond promptly to reports of unsafe or unhealthful conditions that threaten people, property, or the environment, and establish procedures designed to ensure that no employee is subject to any interference, discrimination, or other type of reprisal for reporting such conditions or participating in REE Safety, Health, and Environmental Management (SHEM) program activities.\nEnsure that location workplaces are inspected and audited at least annually by qualified and properly equipped personnel and adequate employee representation is provided.\nProvide prompt abatement of unsafe and unhealthful working conditions that threaten people, property, or the environment. Request resources from the next higher management level to abate hazards or conditions beyond the ability of location to abate, and ensure proper posting of notices for identified unsafe and unhealthful conditions that cannot be abated immediately.\nProvide for regulatory required and site specific safety, health, and environmental education/training including periodic updates for location employees to ensure they are current with program requirements and policies.\nRequire participation by, and consultation with, employees or their representatives (i.e., unions) in the locations’ safety, health, and environmental operations and activities.\nIntegrate safety, health, and environmental ","cbCaiqO84qvYMxfp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqO84qvYMxfp","docx",248108,133,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose and objectives\n## Responsibilities\n# Safety Inspections\n# RRC Safety Committee\n# Reporting unsafe or unhealthful conditions\n# Accident and close call investigations and reporting\n# Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)\n# Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP)\n# Biosafety Plan\n# Written Hazard Communication Program\n# Lockout Tagout\n# Hearing Conservation Program\n# Respiratory Protection Plan\n# Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan\n# Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the RRC Safety Program?\",\"answer\":\"The program establishes policies and assigns responsibilities to implement an RRC accident prevention program focused on preventing workplace accidents and health risks.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is responsible for implementing and monitoring safety requirements at the location?\",\"answer\":\"The Location Coordinator, together with the Research Leaders, is responsible for implementing, managing, monitoring, and complying with applicable laws and for ensuring supervisors and employees are trained and prepared.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the program address reporting unsafe conditions and investigating incidents?\",\"answer\":\"It requires prompt reporting of unsafe or unhealthful conditions and establishes procedures for accident and close-call investigations and reporting, including protections against interference or retaliation for reporting.\"}]","Richard B.
