Regulatory Training - hdbk1118990011

DOE-HDBK-1118-99

If the number of tasks selected as overtrain is found to be unmanageable, the tasks may need

to be re-evaluated by training, subject matter experts, and operations and training

management to ensure they were classified correctly. A table-top process as described in the

DOE Handbook for Table-Top Job Analysis should be used to conduct this re-evaluation. It

may not be possible to cover all the learning objectives for all the overtrain tasks in a two year

period. Therefore, some of the learning objectives for the overtrain tasks (e.g., those that are

less important to safety and have not been shown to be areas of weakness) may have to be

presented on a frequency less often than once every to two years (e.g., once every 3 years).

At low hazard nuclear facilities it is possible that none of the tasks would be selected as

overtrain tasks or the number of overtrain tasks may be very small. In this case the fixed

portion of the continuing training program may be based primarily on regulatory training and

other areas discussed in sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 of this handbook. The number of pre-train

tasks is normally small and these tasks are performed infrequently enough that they can easily

be accommodated in the continuing training program schedule if they are identified early and

well planned.

When an analysis other than a job analysis is performed, the continuing training program

should be based on the activities/competencies which, if performed incorrectly, would have an

impact on safety and require continued practice or performance in order to maintain

proficiency.

2.1.2 Regulatory Training

Regulatory compliance training should be part of the fixed component of the continuing

training program. This is the mandated training required by DOE Orders and Federal

Regulations, such as security training and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)

training, and can readily be scheduled well in advance. Training personnel should monitor

DOE Orders, Federal Regulations, and special reports for information and changes in

requirements influencing training. These changes should be incorporated into the continuing

training program and also documented and tracked.
