Application of Job or Task Analysis Information

Subject matter expert consensus group meetings.

The particular method(s) used will be dependent upon manpower availability,

plant production/operation requirements, and budgetary restraints.

2.6.4 When a task is large or complex, compiling key data on some type of analysis

form can ensure that the required knowledge and skills are not overlooked.

"Task Analysis Data Collection Form" (Attachment 7) and "Task Worksheet"

form (Attachment 8) are examples of typical task analysis data collection

forms.

2.6.5 Documentation collected during task analysis should be retained as part of the

training course file and updated periodically as required by procedural changes,

equipment/system modifications, management policy changes, and/or job

restructuring.

Information collected during the analysis is translated into training program

requirements. Analysis data are also used to validate training program content and

ensure that training reflects actual job requirements for both existing and newly

developed material. The process contained in Section 3 describes the application of

analysis data in the design of training programs.

As additional training requirements are identified by user groups, requests for the

development of new training materials and/or modifications of existing materials

should be made. "Training Development/Change Request" (Attachment 9) is an

example of a form that could be used.

For ease in tracking activities during the analysis phase, use of a checklist is

encouraged. This will allow individuals involved in the process to better plan and

coordinate their activities. An example of an analysis checklist is given in "Analysis

Checklist" (Attachment 10).

The following key considerations should be emphasized when performing and

evaluating activities of the analysis process:

A systematic process involving both training and facility personnel is used to

analyze training needs.
