3.3.11 U se of N on-Facility Pers onnel

Maintenance management should strive to fill permanent staff positions with

permanently assigned maintenance personnel. Non-Facility personnel should

normally be used only to fill temporary needs for which qualified permanent

personnel are unavailable (e.g., to provide specialized technical skills or to

supplement maintenance staff during periods such as outages) or when the costs of

non-facility personnel doing the work are demonstrably less than if the work was

performed by permanent maintenance personnel. For situations in which non-

facility personnel are filling permanent positions or filling a temporary position that

will be made permanent, staffing plans should include ultimate replacement of the

non-facility person with permanent maintenance personnel. Use of non-facility

personnel should be reviewed periodically by maintenance management to verify

continued need.

Training requirements for non-facility personnel should be appropriate to the tasks

they are assigned and the level of responsibility they exercise. Training and

qualification for these individuals should be commensurate with that of permanent

maintenance division personnel performing comparable tasks.
