Evaluation Phase

DOE-STD-1012-92

For presently held qualification(s), the completed examinations, completed checklists,

completed operational evaluations, etc., should be maintained in the record. (Some facilities

may prefer to maintain a separate file of completed examinations with answer keys for each

individual.) When an individual holds qualification on multiple positions, records that

support current qualifications for each position should be maintained. Duty area or task

qualification should be documented using a similar method (for facilities/positions that use

duty area or task qualification instead of position qualification). Supervisors should have

access to qualification records, as necessary, to support the assignment of work to qualified

personnel.

Upon requalification, records that supported the previous technical qualification may

be removed from the record and replaced with the information documenting present

qualification. Superseded information should be handled in accordance with procedures

contained in DOE Order 1324.2A, "Records Disposition."

In addition, records of the OJT programs (which should include an audit trail

documenting the development of and modifications to each program) and evaluations of the

effectiveness of those programs should also be maintained.

3.5 Evaluation Phase

The evaluation phase of performance-based training takes place to determine the

effectiveness of training programs and to identify program changes that may be required.

TAP 2 contains detailed information and example forms that may be used to conduct this

component of the PBT process. Line management should also be actively involved in the

evaluation of an OJT program's effectiveness. Line management's observation of facility

activities that reflect improving or declining job quality and efficiency are a very important

source of feedback for an OJT program.

An OJT program's content should be continuously monitored and revised as a result

of changes affecting policies and/or procedures, system or component design, job

requirements, regulatory requirements, and industry guidelines or commitments. Facility and

industry operating, maintenance, and safety experiences should be monitored to identify

employee performance problems.

If training related employee performance problems exist, the solution may involve

revision of existing materials or repeating portions of the analysis, design, and development

activities. Because of the work and cost involved, the decision to modify the training

program should first be based on safety considerations and then on a cost versus benefit
