The exhaust plume created by firing of the solid rocket motors (SRMs) during a nominal launch contains hazardous materials (primarily hydrogen chloride, an irritant gas). (paragraph 91-204)
Under these conditions, all personnel must be protected from the potential toxic hazards. This requires that launch shelters be established. (paragraph 91-204)
The request that a building be certified as a shelter should come from the facility manager responsible for the building. (paragraph 91-204)
The facility manager submits a request, with justification, for certification or recertification by either e-mail or letter to the 45 SEL and Operations Safety support contractor. (paragraph 91-204)
