ATTACHMENT 1 - Instructions for Evaluators

INTRODUCTION

One of the criteria for successful completion of Radiological Worker Training is that the student

demonstrate proficiency in certain skill areas. Therefore, each facility must develop a practical

factors evaluation and should base the evaluation on the criteria set forth in the DOE RCS,

objectives listed in the practical factors unit of this program, and facility-specific procedures. The

practical factors exercise modules (10.1, 10.2, or 10.3) are designed as a practice session before

the students are evaluated. (See Attachment 2 for Sample Evaluation Checklist for RW II

trainees.)

This attachment provides guidance on:

Setting-up practical factors mock-up area.

Establishing scoring criteria for practical factors evaluation.

Conducting the practical factors evaluation.

The guidance provided is appropriate for facilities that have both radiation and contamination

concerns. It may be modified for facilities without both concerns.

II.

SET-UP PRACTICAL FACTORS MOCK-UP AREA

Instructors are required to pre-stage a mock-up area for the practical factors evaluation. (See

Attachment 4 for an example of a mock-up layout.) Once your facility establishes a mock-up

area, it is recommended that a mechanism be established to ensure consistency from one

evaluation to the next. (The following may not be an all inclusive list.)

Pre-job Brief/Dressing Area

The pre-job brief and/or dressing area may be in the classroom or in a separate change area.

The following materials should be included.

RWP (the RWP used for the evaluation should be different from that used in the practice

session).

Dosimeter(s).

Necessary equipment/tools for job (e.g., clipboard, tools, etc.).

Survey map/status board (if applicable).
