DOE-EM-STD-5505-96
6.17.2 Preparing to Assess Operator Aid Postings. To develop an assessment plan for
Operator Aid Postings, assessors should first review the activity-specific graded-approach
document for conduct of operations and determine which guidelines are applicable at the activity.
This will allow them to determine the scope of the assessment and which applicable activity
policies and procedures to review when developing the assessment plan. Sections 5.4 and 5.8
provide a detailed explanation of assessment planning and the use of assessment techniques.
One aspect to consider when planning the assessment is whether the activity has an official
operator aids program. Many facilities choose not to implement a program. If that is the case,
the assessment of this area of conduct of operations becomes a walkthrough of the activity to
determine whether uncontrolled operator aid postings exist at the activity.
6.17.3 Observation. Observations of operator aids should be conducted during walkthroughs
of the activity, and activities in which operators use these aids.
Assessors should walk through the activity and look for operator aids. Once found, assessors
should review the aids to determine if they contain the information required by the program
procedure and to determine whether they are properly controlled. Furthermore, assessors should
look for the following:
Postings that are obscuring equipment, controls, meters, gages, or other postings
Posting that appear to be damaged by their environment
Operators that use postings in place of procedures
Posted material inside cabinets or markings on instruments and equipment may constitute
operator aids. Although there are not as obvious as a posting, they constitute a subtle,
uncontrolled method to post information.
Markings on instruments and on labels often constitute operator aids. In some cases they are
outdated and can lead to misoperation of equipment or systems.
