GUIDE TO GOOD PRACTICES FOR

REQUIRED READING

1. INTRODUCTION

This Guide to Good Practices is written to enhance understanding of, and provide direction

for, Required Reading, Chapter XIV of Department of Energy (DOE) Order 5480.19, Conduct

of Operations Requirements for DOE Facilities. The practices in this guide should be

considered when planning or reviewing programs for updating personnel with operations and

administration information through required reading. Contractors are advised to adopt

procedures that meet the intent of DOE Order 5480.19.

"Required Reading" is an element of an effective Conduct of Operations program. The

complexity and array of activities performed in DOE facilities dictate the necessity for a

coordinated required reading program to promote safe and efficient operations.
