EVALUATOR INSTRUCTIONS

After the trainee has practiced performing the task, a performance evaluation is

conducted. A successful practice does not count as an OJT evaluation. The OJT

evaluation is a separate activity.

Ensure the trainee has completed all prerequisite training.

Ensure that the materials required to perform the procedure/JPM (or

equivalent) are on hand and available for use.

Before administering the performance evaluation, discuss the "Performance

Evaluation Instructions" with the trainee. Provide a copy of the evaluation

instructions as a reference. Review the initial conditions for the

procedure/JPM with the trainee.

Review the criteria for passing the performance evaluation. The evaluator

and the trainee must clearly understand what is expected.

The standard of acceptable performance may be written in the JPM, implied

in the action statement, or stated in the procedure. The trainee is expected

to perform the steps of the task in sequence unless the JPM indicates

differently. Document trainee performance deficiencies on the JPM.

If a knowledge question is linked directly to a procedural step, ask the

question before moving on to the next step. If it is not linked, ask the listed

questions prior to or at the completion of the procedure/skills portion of the

JPM. Compare the trainee's answer with the expected answer from the JPM,

mark each question as "Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory" and briefly record

the trainee's answer if the response was unsatisfactory.

Terminate the performance evaluation if the trainee's actions may result in

danger to personnel or damage to equipment or the environment. Do not

allow the trainee to commit an unsafe act. Intervene immediately to prevent

or stop unsafe performance. The evaluator is fully responsible for the trainee

and is required to take control of systems/equipment during an emergency.
