Qualification. The Facility Representative position requires a great deal of

education, experience and training. In order to document and certify that

a Facility Representative has achieved this high level of technical

competence, Facility Representatives shall undergo a formal qualification

process established by the Field Element Manager.

5.10.1

Qualification Card. Field Element Managers should establish a

Facility Representative Qualification Card (Qual-Card) or equivalent

for each major facility or group of lesser facilities for which they are

responsible. The Qual-Card contains a list of all of the training

elements or learning objectives, a corresponding standard detailing

the required level of knowledge for each objective, and provisions

for signatures to attest to satisfactory completion of each objective

to the appropriate level of knowledge. The Facility Representative's

immediate supervisor should designate learning objectives based

on an analysis of training needs, elements of the position

description, and facility-specific requirements.

5.10.2

Generic and Facility-Specific Requirements. Field Element

Managers should identify any additional core training requirements

on a Generic Qualification Card, and supplement that with a

Facility-Specific Qual-Card designed to meet the needs of the

individual facility. It is also acceptable to have one Qual-Card that

covers both generic and facility-specific requirements. Additionally,

the Field Element Manager should designate qualifying officials who

are authorized to sign the Qual-Card after verifying the candidate

possesses the appropriate level of knowledge for each requirement.

The Qual-Card should include the following:

a. Self Study. Facility-related DOE Directives and Standards,

Federal and State safety and environmental protection

regulations applicable to the assigned facility, the facility safety

documentation, and all facility-specific documents and

procedures that are pertinent to the responsibilities of the

Facility Representative.

b. Formal Training. Formal training, both on-site and off,

necessary for the Facility Representative to function effectively.

The training may be presented by DOE, contractors, other

Federal Agencies, or private firms.
