functions or should work under direct supervision of persons who are so qualified.

personnel qualification requirements.

3.4.6 Control of Non-facility Contractor and Sub-Contractor Personnel

Non-facility contractors (personnel not directly employed by the facility operating

contractor) and sub-contractor personnel who perform maintenance or modifications on

facility sy stems should be trained and qualified for the work they are to perform.

These personnel should also receive general employee training and specific training in

appropriate facility administration, safety, quality control, and radiation protection

procedures and practices. Adequate time should be provided for this training.

Recognition should be given to individual needs and previous training and experience.

Experienced personnel may be allowed to bypass training by proving proficiency

through examination and demonstration. Non-facility contractor and sub-contractor

personnel who are not fully trained and qualified for the job to be performed should

be continually supervised by qualified personnel.

maintenance under the same controls as, and to the same high work

Non-facility

contractor and sub-contractor managers and supervisors should be held

accountable for the work performance of their personnel.

Facility

supervisors should review the work of these personnel during preparation for

work, at the job site, and during postmaintenance testing and acceptance

inspections to the extent needed to enforce these requirements.

3.4.6.2

Use of subcontractor personnel to perform routine facility maintenance

should not be relied upon to the extent that it deters the development of

permanent staff expertise.
