i There. are a;total of 35 procedures to implement the Emergency. Plan.

Because of recent changes in the emergencyeresponse plan.1for the: onsite Bechtel employees andAtheir subcontractors, a training session on thist matter mad been scheduled for thensafety meetings conducted on February 1, 1,982.
During the: remainder of' the-weeklthis trainingwill be;giyen to those persons who missed. the safety meetings.and the office personnel.
