Enabling

Learning

Suggested Learning Activities:

Objectives

ALL

Review and discuss the role and responsibilities of a shift supervisor

interfacing with outside agencies with the operations manager or an

experienced shift supervisor. Also, discuss facility goals, emphasizing a

strong safety culture and the need to place the facility in a safe condition

when faced with uncertainty.

9.2

Discuss management philosophy and expectations regarding

conservative decision-making with the operations manager or senior line

manager. This discussion should include events (actual in-house and

industry) where personnel were challenged with situations that required

sound and prudent judgement and how their decisions (both appropriate

and inappropriate) affected the outcome of events.

9.5

Use a case-study approach to developing a plan for restoring

safety-related equipment that is in a condition of reduced reliability.

9.2, 9.4, 9.6-9.7

A simulator (for those facilities that have them) may be used to exercise

implementation skills with emphasis on conservative decision making,

with due consideration for facility and public safety. This may also be

done with other training activities and learning objectives.

Note

Personnel decisions, either intentional or inadvertent, that bypass operational

restrictions and reduce the overall margin of safety may be nonconservative.

Compensatory measures and defense-in-depth techniques can sometimes

restore the overall margin of safety or protect those margins when normal

operating restrictions must be bypassed.
