Remedial Training

DOE-HDBK-1118-99

5. REMEDIAL TRAINING

Specific remedial training for personnel may be required to refresh and upgrade knowledge

and skills related to their duties. A standard method of implementing this training and

evaluating the personnel involved should be established.

5.1 Attendance

Attendance requirements should be determined by line management. Normally, personnel

having significant deficiencies in one or more of the following areas should be assigned to

remedial training:

Duty performance identified by the line manager

Performance tests

Simulator performance

Written tests

Facility drill task performance

Facility walk-through task performance.

Individuals and/or teams with significant deficiencies in important duty areas should be

removed from those specific duties until remediated satisfactorily.

5.2 Content

Remedial training should be structured to upgrade individual knowledge and skills identified as

deficient. Examination categories and areas in which performance standards were not met

should be covered.

The line manager or a designated representative should provide content input to the training

manager based on a review of individual or team deficiencies and on a careful analysis of the

root cause of the deficiencies. The training manager should be responsible for formulating

and approving individual remedial training and for obtaining line management concurrence.
