SAMPLE OPERATIONS ASSESSMENT REPORT

FINDING:

Three of three CASS Operators interviewed could not demonstrate how they reviewed CASS

status log items referenced in the shift turnover checksheet. The shift turnover checksheet

requires use of a status log to review equipment malfunctions and failures,

operations/maintenance and work in progress, system/equipment status, etc. (References: 1, 2)

[Concern: 2]

DISCUSSION: A status log does not exist at the CASS and the status board is not updated

to provide the information required to be reviewed at shift turnover. Note that the

Operating Procedure, TO-020-755, section 5.3.1 requires that each facility maintain a status

log, but this procedure does not cover the CASS.
