A facility manager is that individual or designee who has direct line responsibility for operation of a facility, including authority to direct physical changes to the facility. At LBNL, for occurrence reporting, this is the Division Director. A facility manager designee serves as the F.M. s representative for Occurrence Reporting. The Notification Report consists of questions 1 through 19 plus 25 of the Occurrence Report. An Occurrence Report is a documented evaluation of an event or condition that is prepared in sufficient detail to enable the reader to assess its significance, consequences, or implications, and to evaluate the action being proposed or employed to correct the condition or to avoid recurrence.
Unusual occurrences are of a higher level of severity than off-normal occurrences.
