Assessing Control of On-Shift Training.

6.4.5 Document Review. Examples of documents and other written information that can be

reviewed to assess Communications include:

Approved lists of abbreviations and acronyms

Records of periodic emergency communication equipment testing

Portable radio postings

Turnover checklists

Program and operating procedures

Emergency plan

Most document reviews necessary to assess activity communications can be conducted in

conjunction with observations. For example, while touring the activity with an operator, an

assessor should look for and review the approved list of abbreviations and acronyms, portable

radio postings, and turnover checklists. After reviewing these documents, observe how and when

they are used by operators. If necessary, reviews of program procedures and other documents

that are not routinely used during activity operations can be fit in between scheduled interviews

and observations.

6.5 Assessing Control of On-Shift Training.

6.5.1 Discussion. An effective On-Shift Training Program ensures that unqualified personnel

are properly supervised and controlled to avoid operational errors and to maximize use of the

trainee's time. On -shift training should be conducted so that the trainee satisfactorily completes

Additionally, the program should be structured to ensure that On-the-Job Trainers (OJT) have

received the proper training necessary to qualify them as OJT Instructors.

On-shift training is not intended to cover all aspects of an effective training and qualification

program. Rather, it addresses only the component that includes actual hands-on the equipment
