Objectives of the Role:

As a Hazards Analyst you are a technical specialist whose expertise is utilized across the lab. A key subject matter expert you will work at the nexus of research and operations to ensure compliance with Emergency Management, Safeguards & Security, and Fire Protection Program requirements. Borrowing concepts from fields of engineering, chemistry, industrial hygiene, toxicology, and public health you will be working mainly to support the deliverables produced under U.S Department of Energy (DOE) Order (O) 151.1D. You will be responsible for identifying and analyzing the spectrum of hazards that could impact the lab, with  a specific focus on emergency and security planning for hazardous materials (biological, chemical, and radiological). The technical outputs of this role are vital to the laboratory’s ability to protect its employees and the surrounding communities from potential threats and emergency conditions.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Translate requirements within DOE O 151.1D and DOE O 470.3C to support the development and maintenance of technical reports, programmatic plans, and briefs 
  • Identify natural, technological, and human-caused hazards and characterize their potential impacts to the laboratory. 
  • Identify and screen hazardous materials (biological, chemical, and radiological) against the requirements of DOE O 151.1D and DOE O 470.3C
  • Assist with security asset identification and characterization essential to the completion of security planning documents  
  • Utilize concepts of dispersion modeling to analyze onsite and offsite consequences of actual or potential hazardous material releases.
  • Use geospatial analysis, wildfire spread modeling, explosion modeling, and other statistical software solutions to assist in hazards assessment and response activities 
  • Serve in an assigned on-duty/on-call position in the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) as a specialist in emergency identification, categorization, and consequence assessment, with the potential for 24/7/365 recall and assignment on extended hours or during nights, weekends, and holidays; whenever such events occur.
