AOP-015 Event Investigation Reports (EIRs)

Sorted by year beginning 2014

The following files are Event Investigation Reports (EIRs) from AOP-015 events.

Chemicals are routinely monitored in the tank farms. When a Personal Ammonia Monitor alarm occurs, the TF-AOP-015 procedure is initiated.

The initial event investigation process ensures significant issues are aggressively investigated and documented so facilities can assess the impact of each event or condition. The operations manager, responsible for the day-to-day operation of the laboratory or tank farm facilities, takes ownership of investigation of events, conditions, "near misses," or other indications of situations within or outside the operations organization that, if uncorrected, can adversely affect safety, health, quality assurance, safeguards and security, operations, or the environment.
