F CUSPREVENTION Topic: Tornado Safety
Langley Research Center
Tornado Watch – weather conditions favor formation of a tornado – i.e. a tornado is “possible”
What the Langley Emergency Operations Center (EOC) does during a tornado watch.◦ LaRC Weather Officer maintains close contacts
with Center Emergency Management Officers and Wakefield/LAFB weather personnel and monitors weather radar information.
◦ If weather conditions worsen: EOC is opened with core staff: emergency
management, fire protection, safety representatives, COD, Security and Public Affairs personnel.
EOC will use the agency Emergency Notification System (ENS) to notify employees through e-mails, cell phones, and work phone as conditions warrant.
LaRC personnel should watch the weather and be prepared to take shelter immediately if conditions worsen .
In VA, strong tornados are usually associated with weather fronts in late
Spring and Fall months
Be observant for appearance of tornado funnel structures – seek
cover immediately

March 2013 Review

CultureAccidents
VPPEmployees Chemical Exposure in Building 1293C Room 247 Type “B” MishapApril 12, 2012 Conclusion
There was no intention by the three contractor employees to intentionally circumvent the system, but rather an overconfident desire to get the task done.
The MIT determined that the RD/AMPB
organizational culture had as much to do with this Mishap as did the broken chemical container.
In the case of this Mishap, researchers and managers continually normalized the technical deviations they found in the Laboratory. Accomplishing research objectives circumvented safety, which was evident by the lack of attention paid to addressing safety audits, chemical storage procedures and general laboratory and chemical housekeeping cleanliness requirements.
VPP
What must be admitted – very painfully – is that this was a disaster “Made in Japan.” Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to ‘sticking with the program’; our groupism; and our insularity.
