Previewing Scheduled Training

DOE-STD-1040-93

should have a clear understanding of what it is they are about to do, why

they are doing it, and the expected effects their action(s) will have on the

equipment, system, or process. If the trainee cannot answer these

questions, he/she should get clarification prior to performing the action(s).

The trainee should also be aware of the mobility limitations and should

remain in sight of the instructor at all times so that the instructor can

maintain control of the trainee during the hands-on situation. A good

practice is to have the trainee stay "within arm's distance" of the instructor

when the trainee operates equipment. Although it is the responsibility of the

instructor to supervise the trainee, it is the trainee's responsibility to be in a

position to be supervised.

Trainees should also understand that any official round sheets or narrative

logs that they use to record facility parameters or remarks are formal

documents. Although it is the instructor's responsibility to ensure that all

data or remarks are correctly recorded, it is the trainee's responsibility to

correctly and accurately record the information in a legible, precise, and

understandable manner.

4.3.1.2

Previewing Scheduled Training

The on-shift training schedule should contain a list of all training that is

scheduled for a given period. The training coordinator is responsible for

developing the schedule. Discussing the scheduled training prior to its

occurrence will help the instructor determine how well the trainee is prepared

and may also help the trainee gain an understanding of the relationship

between upcoming training activities and the operational schedule. If the

scheduled training conflicts with the operational schedule, the training

coordinator should be contacted to modify the training schedule.

4.3.1.3

Knowledge Spotcheck

The instructor may use the pre-training briefing to determine if the trainee

has the required knowledge and skills to perform the training tasks. If the

trainee does not have the required knowledge and skills, the instructor must

not let the trainee commence training; however, the trainee may be allowed

to observe the tasks to gain more knowledge. Information on the

appropriate methods for conducting a knowledge spotcheck can be found in

the OJT Guide to Good Practices.
