Appendix B -- Example Task List Cover Letter cont'd

6. Select tasks for training based on the following criteria:

a. Non-Formal Training tasks (impact: not included in formal training program)

task performed often enough that one does not forget how to do it

there is low difficulty when performing task

there is low probability of error when performing task

improper task performance makes no difference in plant operations or harm to

personnel (low consequences of error)

task can be learned and competently performed with just mentoring, informal

OJT, job experience, and/or a job aid/procedures

b. Pre-Train tasks (impact: tasks are taught formally, on an as-needed basis)

task is only performed once every 2-1/2 to 5+ years

time would be available for training prior to need for task performance

if task is performed improperly, there are moderate- to high-consequences

c. Train tasks (impact: tasks are formally taught once during initial training using

boilerplate lesson plans and tests)

improper task performance may impair reliability of a system or process or may

require a UOR (moderate consequences of error)

related task performance maintains proficiency on this task

one-time training is sufficient to learn competent task performance

d. Overtrain tasks (impact: tasks are taught formally in initial and continuing training using

more detailed lesson plans and tests)

task requires frequent practice to maintain proficiency

proper task performance is critical to safety (extreme consequences--serious

injury, death, or site emergency)

task performed seldom enough that one may forget how to perform task
