Training Organization

DOE-HDBK-6004-99

1. Develop and implement a training and qualification program using a graded approach based upon

the hazards of the facility;

2. Prepare, approve and implement a training plan that sets forth the staffing, training, and

qualification requirements.

Training Organization

Each facility should establish an organization that is responsible for the training and qualification of

facility personnel. The duties, responsibilities, qualifications and authority of training organization

personnel should be documented, and managerial responsibilities and authority clearly defined.

Contracted Personnel

Each facility should establish training and qualification criteria for contracted personnel used in facility

organizations:

1. Contracted personnel who act as regular employees in the organization should complete the same

training and qualifications programs required of regular employees, as appropriate to the job.

2. Contracted personnel who perform specialized, temporary or other scope-of-work functions

should be qualified by their contracting company to perform their assigned jobs. The facility

should provide any facility-unique training that may be required.

When contracted personnel used do not meet the training and qualification criteria established, their

work should be overseen by qualified personnel.

Facility Training Plan

The facility training plan is the document that provides the overall description of facility staffing,

training, qualification, and certification programs. This plan should be prepared to address the

following:

1. Initial and continuing training programs, including maintenance of training;

2. Training and qualification programs for personnel who require formal qualification and

certification; and

3. Examination program requirements for qualification and certification.

The facility training plan should be supplemented, as needed, with written procedures that address,

as a minimum: examination and operational evaluation development, approval, security,

administration, and maintenance; administration of medical requirements; and recordkeeping

requirements.
