Facility Resources

DOE-STD-1032-92

Operations procedures that direct the operation of the facility within its

design bases are effectively used to support safe operation of the facility

The operator aid program ensures that operator aids are current, correct,

and useful

The equipment and piping labeling program ensures that facility personnel

are able to positively identify the equipment they operate.

Additional performance standards that enhance facility safety, quality,

environmental protection, and production should be developed to support the

mission of the facility.

4.4 Facility Resources

The operations supervisor should be responsible for identifying to DOE and corporate

management the resources required for safe, reliable facility operation. The operations

supervisor should also be responsible for providing lower-level managers with the

resources to accomplish assigned tasks. The resources provided should include:

Sufficient personnel to limit overtime

Adequate permanent work areas to conduct facility activities

Necessary spare parts and equipment to operate and maintain the facility

Technical services in areas such as maintenance planning, engineering support,

nuclear safety reviews, and interfacing with regulatory agencies

Administrative services, including contract administration, budget and cost control,

and personnel administration

Personnel, facilities, and materials for training.

If a lack of resources compromises the ability to operate safely and efficiently within

environmental, safety, and health requirements, the cognizant manager should take the

necessary action(s) to correct the problem.
