Initial Training Requirements

DOE-HDBK-6004-99

Minimum training required for facility access should include General Employee Training and

Radiation Safety Training.

Initial Training Requirements

The training matrix should include required and recommended entry-level training for the job

function. Each line manager should identify initial training requirements, training priorities, and the

sequence of training for personnel under their supervision who require only training.

The qualification or certification procedure, as applicable, should identify required and recommended

entry-level training for the job function. Such procedures should include both technical (subject

matter) and training evaluators reviews.

Continuing Training Requirements

Continuing training programs should be implemented to maintain and enhance the proficiency of

personnel. A required reading program may also be used, when appropriate, to accomplish

continuing training.

Maintenance of Training

Continuing training includes topics which require renewal. The following is recommended:

1. Two (2) year renewals for General Employee Training and Radiological Health and Safety

programs.

2. "Just in Time" training for facility changes, "Lessons Learned" training and when a governing

document changes, as in the case of procedures.

Unless specified by a regulatory rule, renewal intervals should be determined by each facility based

upon experience with the topic. Personnel should maintain training in those topics required to

support their job function. If an individual does not maintain training, only that part of their job

covered by the lapsed training is impacted.

Qualification Requirements

Qualified Operators and Supervisors

The qualification program for qualified operators and supervisors should be detailed in a procedure

that addresses the following elements of this section. Upon completion of program requirements, the

candidate may be granted qualification.

Education and Experience

Minimum education and experience requirements should be established. Recommended requirements

are detailed in Appendix D.
