Maintenance Division Resources

DOE-STD-1051-93

Management Outside of Normal Working Hours

Clear guidance should be provided to maintenance division personnel

concerning the authority and responsibility for the safe and reliable conduct of

maintenance activities outside normal working hours. Managers should establish

policies and procedures as necessary to ensure that they are adequately informed

during off-hours of matters under their cognizance needing management

attention. The maintenance division manager and other responsible department

managers and supervisors should be promptly notified of station events when

such notification is considered appropriate. Subordinates should be required to

keep management informed of any aspect of maintenance activities that involves

initiation of the emergency plan or results in a significant departure from normal

operation.

Although maintenance division and department managers should be notified

promptly of significant station events, it should be understood that subordinates

are responsible for taking appropriate action and documenting the event and

actions taken. Maintenance division records and logs should be used at all

times as the primary method for documenting routine activities in progress,

changes of status, and abnormal or unusual occurrences.
