On-the-Job Training

DOE-STD-1063-97

responsible for ensuring that the Facility Representative receives the training

necessary for the position. Frequently, appropriate courses and training can

be found within the DOE complex, other Federal agencies, or from non-

government sources within the scientific community. Headquarters, in

coordination with the field elements, will develop additional training courses

and material to help meet the non-facility-specific Facility Representative

training needs. Close collaboration among field elements and Headquarters

Line Management is encouraged to minimize development costs for courses.

In cases where formal course work is not practical, Field Element Managers

should ensure that informal training provides Facility Representatives the

required level of knowledge. The following training elements should be

addressed in formal training:

Environmental laws and regulations, including the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and

others as appropriate;

Safety and health laws and regulations, including the Occupational

Safety and Health Act;

DOE Conduct of Operations;

DOE Conduct of Maintenance;

Quality Assurance;

Radiation protection;

Fire protection;

Electrical safety;

Industrial hygiene and waste management concerns related to

chemical hazards;

Observation, Assessment, Investigation techniques;

Occurrence Reporting and Processing Systems;

Facility Authorization Basis, Safety Analysis Reports, Technical Safety

Requirements and Unreviewed Safety Questions;

Provisions of the governing contract;

Configuration management;

Stop Work Authority;

Price Anderson Amendment Act Rules;

Facility Emergency Management Procedures;

Facility-Specific Access Requirements; and

Facility Safeguards and Security Requirements.

5.9.4

On-the-Job Training. Each field element should establish the "on-the-job"

training requirements, regarding the controls, activities, processes, and

specialized procedures necessary for qualification. These should be

demonstrated to a qualifying individual.

5.9.5

Training Equivalency. Each field element shall develop a system (based on

requirements in DOE Order 360.1) for granting equivalency for training

requirements on the basis of prior experience or education. Justification

should be provided for each equivalency, which will include appropriate

support documentation, such as transcripts or certificates of completion. A

copy of the approved equivalency shall be maintained in the Facility

Representative's Qualification Record.
