DOE-STD-1032-92

4.6 Management Training

Management training and professional development should be conducted to ensure the

facility is staffed by highly capable and experienced individuals. This training should

enhance the managerial and technical skills of facility personnel, such as written and oral

communications and specialized technical subjects. The unique needs for each level of

management and for each individual should be considered in the management

development program.

Management should assess the management needs of the facility and define job

prerequisites, including necessary training, experience, professional certifications, and

skills development. Criteria should be established for selecting personnel to participate

in management development. The training and job rotation assignments that constitute

management development activities should be defined and communicated to

participating personnel. Adequate resources should be available to support the training

and career-broadening assignments necessary for developing personnel.

A major goal of the management development effort should be to have qualified

personnel in the facility organization ready to be promoted to the next level of

management.

4.7 Planning for Safety

Facility management and personnel should assume direct responsibility for conducting

activities and functions in a manner that emphasizes safety and minimizes the potential

for challenges to safety limits and personnel exposure. When unexpected conditions that

are outside the scope of normal conditions arise, personnel should always exercise

conservative judgment and obtain management guidance, as appropriate, before

proceeding.

4.7.1

Planning

Each facility should have guidelines that describe safety planning requirements

for all operational activities. These guidelines should explain the role of safety

analysis reports (SARs), job safety analyses (JSAs), and the handling of safety

matters. Operational activities should be reviewed to ensure that they address

safety planning. This review may be conducted by a formal safety review

committee, which will ensure that all aspects of safety, including local, state,

and Federal requirements, are properly addressed. The accompanying

documentation should identify personnel protective equipment, system

alignments, and operator qualifications needed for safe operation.
