DOE-HDBK-1076-94

Low difficulty

Low probability of error

Low consequence of error

Can be confidently performed with mentoring, informal OJT, job experience,

and/or a job aid/procedure

Extremely low frequency

Time is available for training prior to task performance

Worker needs training prior to task performance

Moderate consequence of error

Related task performance maintains proficiency on the task

One-time training is sufficient for task performance

Can task be performed without use of a job aid/procedure?

The team will now categorize tasks within each duty

area as "no train," "pre-train," "train," or "overtrain" based on the aforementioned criteria.

The team will then come to consensus on each task. All tasks with similar classifications

will be grouped together.
