CCS - Command Core System

The Command Core System consists of several integrated modules, described below.

Employee Demographics

Maintains basic employee information. Key information includes the social security number or other employee identifier, which is used to track an employee throughout various work assignments, medical screenings, fittings for protective equipment, etc.

Pollution Prevention

Provides a method of identifying the use of hazardous materials through the review of technical documentation associated with activities/processes performed. The menu includes options to identify substances mandated for use in technical manuals, hazards associated with substance use, and information concerning treatment for exposure. It also includes a project management option to manage projects associated with identifying hazardous substance use and reducing or eliminating the use of given substances.

Industrial Hygeine

Establishes Potential Exposure Groups (PEGs) to categorize employees or groups of employees that share a common set of potential exposures. You establish test and training requirements to reduce risks associated with accident or exposure. You institute controls that protect personnel by requiring respirators, hearing protection, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), etc., based on the PEG assignment. You also track licensing requirements associated with various activities/processes and the results of surveys that monitor the environment and employee health.

Material Management

Tracks material management activities by recording material constituents, material inventory, material issue (in which material is issued to a person/Potential Exposure Group (PEG) for use in a specific activity/process), and material use. It provides options to prepare information for Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports on chemical release. Through this menu you record complete information on chemicals tracked, including hazards they represent, and recommended treatment in cases of accidental exposure.

Air Permit Information Management System (APIMS)

Provides an integrated information system that stores data necessary to comply with Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act, and TRI reporting requirements. APIMS can hold data on source categories and their sources, equipment that relates to each source and algorithms needed to calculate emissions. APIMS uses this information to calculate air emissions on the source categories or sources that are specified by the user.

UEC/Shop

Provides a capability for the Unit Environmental Coordinator quick access to information pertaining to a specific shop and process identification.

OMS/Public Health

Maintains records of employee medical information. The menu includes screens where you record clinical test requirements based on a PEG, medical test and audiogram results, and medical testing requirements.

Shared Functions

Provides general functions needed by users of different CCS modules. These functions include screens to maintain organizational data, record accounting (with cross billing tracking) transactions, establish training course requirements and record employee attendance, monitor equipment use, track shop visits, identify unique activities/processes, and track employee work assignments.

Safety

Tracks information associated with any incident that might occur at the work site. You can report all aspects of the incident, including medical results and resultant compensation.

Waste Management

Provides options to manage all aspects of hazardous waste generation, movement, and disposal. Hazardous waste includes materials that, either alone or combined, are hazardous and must be disposed of via a regulated activity/process.

Environmental Sampling

Provides options to track all aspects of environmental sampling. Environmental Sampling tracks the sample from the sample point through lab analysis. This menu is designed to track different types of samples including, waste water, potable water, ground water, soil, etc.
