12.3 Environmental, Health, and Safety plan
Environmental, Health, and Safety plans for all participating entities will be consulted and
adopted as needed for all laboratory and marine operations. For all marine operations, ACT staff
will work closely with the local NWS WFO to determine “spot” forecasts in the area of marine
operations to ensure safe and successful deployments. For all operations at the USACE FRF, all
equipment, procedures, manning levels, and submittals shall comply with Section 30 of the
Corps Health and Safety Requirements Manual EM 385-1-1 (Nov 03 or most current version).
The current version is available at: http://www.usace.army.mil/SafetyandOccupationalHealth/
SafetyandHealthRequirementsManual.aspx.
