  3. Why was the Annex Created • WTC revealed the need for better Worker Safety and Health Coordination • Pre Incident • Post Incident • Wanted to institutionalize in the NRP the lessons learned from WTC • Public Safety and Health is not Worker Safety and Health

  4. How Was the Annex Developed • OSHA worked with members of the NRT, DHS/FEMA to obtain broad based support • Originally tried to make it an ESF Annex • Several cycles of comments and revision meetings with the NRP writing team and individual agency POCs where needed to develop the Annex

  5. Worker Safety and Health Support Annex Coordinating Agency: Department of Labor/Occupational Safety & Health Administration Cooperating Agencies: Department of Defense – USACE. Environmental Protection Agency Department of Energy Department of Health and Human Services - NIOSH, ATSDR, NIEHS Department of Homeland Security - USCG, FEMA

  6. Scope • Incidents of National Significance (INS) / Activation of the NRP • Coordination of incident Worker Safety and Health technical assistance • Core assistance modeled after assistance provided at WTC • Does not cover public health and safety

  7. Premised upon cooperative and proactive work with responders prior to and during a response Acknowledges that agencies retain their authorities Is designed to provide advice and technical support to the Incident Safety Officer Annex Policy

  8. Emergency Support Function (ESF) #5, Emergency Management, activates the annex Annex can be also be implemented by an individual ESF The need for Worker Safety & Health assistance and coordination may be requested by State and Local Governments The Annex provides for on-scene pragmatic, consistent, and accurate worker safety and health risk management This Annex does not replace the responsibilities of organizations to provide for the safety and health of their workers Policy

  9. Concept of Operations General • Coordinate Federal safety and health assets to provide proactive worker safety and health consideration of all potential hazards • Ensures availability and management of all safety resources needed by responders • Share responders’ safety-related information • Coordinate among Federal agencies, State, Local, and Tribal governments, and private-sector organizations involved in incident response

  10. Pre-Incident Coordination • Coordination through existing organizations and committees e.g. NRT • Annex calls for the Creation of a NRP Worker Safety and Health Support Coordination Committee • Pre-incident planning guidance development and distribution • Work with other organizations that develop and fund responder training to ensure their curricula are technically accurate, NIMS compliant and tailored for the intended responders.

  11. Concept of Operations: Pre-Incident Resource Development • Consolidate information on existing technical resources & provide to response organizations, i.e., reach back capability • Work to ensure consistent responder training curricula • Identify and anticipate needs; develop and disseminate information on hazards and controls for potential incidents

  12. Concept of Operations: Coordinate Incident Response Support/Services • Sitespecific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) development • Hazard assessment and site characterization (worker exposures) • 24/7 personal airborne exposure monitoring • 24/7 site safety monitoring • Worker medical surveillance / monitoring, e.g. lead, asbestos, silica

  13. Concept of Operations: Coordinate Incident Response Support/Services • Worker exposure data collection, management, and dissemination • Labor union and contractor coordination • Worker site-specific training • Worker psychological first aid • On-going assessment of health & safety resource needs / locate sources • PPE program development & implementation

  14. OSHA Has and Will Continue to Provide Assistance at National and Other Emergencies • Terrorism • World Trade Center • Natural Disasters • Hurricanes e.g., Ivan, Charlie, Jean, Francis, Katrina • California Wildfires • OSHA and/or its State Plan partners have unique expertise and experience to address the broad scope of hazards, found at a disaster site • OSHA will provide needed support when asked during an emergency
