Non-Facility Personnel

DOE-STD-1051-93

2.3.8 N on-Facility Pers onnel

Non-Facility personnel may be used to perform tasks that are of a specialized or

temporary nature for which it is not feasible to hire or maintain a full-time

maintenance division employee. The use of non-facility personnel in permanent

maintenance division positions should be avoided except as an interim measure.

Chapter 3, "Human Resources," provides additional guidance concerning placing

non-facility personnel in permanent positions.

When non-facility personnel are used, the duties, authorities, responsibilities, and

functional interfaces with personnel should be clearly defined. Non-Facility

personnel should be qualified for the task to be performed and held to the same

performance standards as maintenance division personnel performing similar tasks.

Non-Facility personnel should be indoctrinated in appropriate plant policies and

procedures and should adhere to the policies and procedures to the same degree as

maintenance division personnel.

2.3.9 Interfaces w ith Outside Organizations

The maintenance division staff interface with many outside organizations, such as

the bargaining unit, federal regulatory agencies, state regulatory agencies and

commissions, local governmental bodies, industry oversight and advisory groups, and

insurance companies. The responsibility for interfacing with and making

commitments to outside organizations should be clearly defined and understood.

Measures, including appropriate reviews, should be in place to ensure information

provided to outside organizations is complete and accurate. Maintenance division

management should not acquiesce to outside organizations to the extent that

management's primary responsibility - personnel safety and plant safety and

reliability - is compromised.

2.3.10 Technical S afety Requirements

Administrative controls should be established to document compliance with DOE

Order 5480.22 T echnical S af ety R equirem ents. Logs, status sheets, turnover

checklists, or other appropriate documentation should reflect the entry conditions and

actions taken in response to technical safety requirements. Appropriate managers

and supervisors should be apprised of applicable technical safety requirements and

maintenance actions required for a return to normal operation.
