Uncontrolled copies of documents may exist for illustrative, instructional, knowledge preservation, or external distribution purposes. All EMS controlled documents are listed on the EMS Document Control Index. Suggestions for changes from these, or other processes, will be used in the yearly revision and updating of the EMS Manual. If any changes are made to the latest copy of the EMS Manual, everyone on the distribution list will be notified via e-mail or hardcopy of those changes. Revisions include revised and new pages, a written summary of changes and additions, and insertion instructions.
Manual holders are responsible for expeditiously inserting revisions upon receipt.
A copy of the revision notification letter is kept in the front of the SPPM for future reference. The Director of the Department of Public Safety is responsible for maintaining and updating the entire University ERP and Standard Operating Procedures. The State Department of Emergency Services participates with this effort as needed. Each individual laboratory is responsible for providing additional information to make the manual relevant to their area.
