controls. Personnel shall posses the experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities that are necessary

to discharge their responsibilities. (CE I-7, CE I-8, CE I-9)

Criteria

1. Contractor procedures have clearly defined roles and responsibilities for personnel

assigned to oversee, review, approve the analysis of hazards, and establish controls associated

with facilities and activities.

2. Contractor procedures require that personnel responsible for analyzing hazards and

identification of adequate controls have competence that is commensurate with their

responsibilities.

3. DOE procedures have clearly defined roles and responsibilities for personnel assigned to

oversee, review, and approve the analysis of hazards and controls associated with facilities

and activities.

4. DOE procedures require that personnel responsible for approving hazards analyses and

controls have competence commensurate with their responsibilities.

Approach

Record Review: Review contractor organization documentation to identify personnel

including all levels of management to whom this objective applies. Review the position

descriptions for those personnel to determine the required competencies. Review

corporate/site training manuals and qualification and competency procedures. Review

selected training and qualification records for those personnel identified above to determine

how the required competency has been gained, retained, and validated.

Review DOE FRAM/FRA or other implementing procedures that identify the roles and

responsibilities for personnel who conduct oversight and review of the hazard analyses and

the establishment controls. Verify that DOE line management and staff personnel' roles,

responsibilities, and authorities are appropriate. Review selected qualification program

records.

Interviews: Interview selected contractor individuals to verify their understanding of the

required competencies and the degree to which they meet them.

Interview selected DOE personnel to determine their understanding of the assigned

responsibilities and determine that they are competent to meet these requirements.
