DOE-HDBK-1078-94, DOE HANDBOOK TRAINING PROGRAM HANDBOOK: A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TRAINING. This Department of Energy (DOE) Handbook, DOE-HDBK-1078-94, Training Program Handbook: A Systematic Approach to Training, describes a systematic method for establishing and maintaining training programs that meet the requirements and expectations of DOE Orders 5480.18B, Nuclear Facility Training Accreditation Program, and 5480.20, Personnel Selection, Qualification, Training, and Staffing Requirements at DOE Reactor and Non-Reactor Nuclear Facilities. The systematic approach to training (SAT) includes five distinct, yet interrelated, phases. These phases include analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. SAT is consistent with other systematically based training systems such as performance-based training (PBT), training system development (TSD), instructional systems development (ISD), and other similar methods. For the purposes of this Handbook, SAT and PBT are interchangeable. The systematic approach method may also be used in conjunction with other DOE orders and directives that contain personnel training and qualification requirements. This Handbook describes the more classical concept and approach to systematically establishing training programs. However, in some cases this classical approach has proven to be time- and labor-intensive, especially if excessive detail is expected. The risk and complexity associated with performance of a job or the nuclear hazard category of the facility affected may warrant the use of simpler, less detailed alternative methods to achieve results that are both satisfactory and effective. These methods are discussed in other Departmental and industry standards.

DOE-HDBK-1086-95, DOE HANDBOOK TABLE-TOP TRAINING PROGRAM DESIGN. The purpose of this Handbook is to establish general training program guidelines for training personnel in developing training for operation, maintenance, and technical support personnel at Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear facilities. Table-Top methods can be used for many purposes, but the focus of this Handbook is on training program design. Department of Energy (DOE) Order 5480.20A, Personnel Selection, Qualification, and Training Requirements for DOE Nuclear Facilities, stresses the importance of training programs that are based on a systematic approach. An integral part of any systematically-developed training program includes designing the training program and determining the content of that program. Table-Top Training Program Design (TTTD) is one "systematic" method that can be used by DOE contractor organizations to achieve a cost- effective and high quality training program. TTTD is not the only method of program design; however, when conducted properly TTTD can be a cost effective, efficient, and self-validating method of defining a training program based on job requirements. The table-top training program design is an acceptable alternative to traditional methods of task analysis and design. DOE 5480.20A endorses and recommends it as a method for designing training programs for positions addressed by the Order.

DOE-HDBK-1099-96, DOE HANDBOOK ESTABLISHING NUCLEAR FACILITY DRILL PROGRAMS. The purpose of DOE Handbook, EstablishingNuclearFacilityDrill Programs, is to provide DOE contractor organizations with guidance for development or modification of drill programs that both train on and evaluate facility training and procedures dealing with a variety of abnormal and emergency operating situations likely to occur at a facility. The Handbook focuses on conducting drills as part of a training and qualification program (typically within a single facility), and is not intended to included responses of personnel beyond the site boundary, e.g. Local or State Emergency Management, Law Enforcement, etc. Each facility is expected to develop its own facility specific scenarios, and should not limit them to equipment failures but should include personnel injuries and other likely events. A well-developed and consistently administered drill program can effectively provide training and evaluation of facility operating personnel in controlling abnormal and emergency operating situations. To ensure the drills are meeting their intended purpose they should have evaluation criteria for evaluating the knowledge and skills of the facility operating personnel. Training and evaluation of staff skills and knowledge such as component and system interrelationship, reasoning and judgment, team interactions, and communications can be accomplished with drills. The appendices to this Handbook contain both models and additional guidance for establishing drill programs at the Department's nuclear facilities. Appendix A is a template that can be used to establish contents and format of a drill scenario. Appendix B provides scenarios typical of many facilities. Appendix C describes cues and props that can be used to represent various conditions. Appendix D contains information on methods and content of typical evaluation criteria.

Questions and answers, based on OSHA's responses to questions from industry and labor, are provided at the end of most sections. Applicable question numbers are referenced in the text in brackets. Sample programs are included that may be used to satisfy provisions of the PSM Rule. These sample programs are adapted from industry and are not mandatory, even though some contain directive language (e.g., will, shall, should). Appendix D lists additional sources of detailed PSM information. For specific guidance on the Process Hazards Analysis element, the reader is referred to the handbook, "Chemical Process Hazards Analysis" (DOE-HDBK-1100-2004).

DOE-HDBK-1115-98, DOE HANDBOOK GUIDE TO GOOD PRACTICES FOR THE SELECTION, TRAINING, AND QUALIFICATION OF SHIFT TECHNICAL ADVISORS (DEC 1998). The DOE Guide to Good Practices For The Selection, Training, and Qualification of Shift Technical Advisors can be used by any DOE nuclear facility that has implemented the shift technical advisor (STA) position. DOE Order 5480.20A, Personnel Selection, Qualification and Training Requirements for DOE Nuclear Facilities, states that only Category A reactors must have a shift technical advisor. However, many DOE nuclear facilities have implemented the shift technical advisor position to provide independent on-shift technical advice and counsel to the shift operating personnel to help determine cause and mitigation of facility accidents. Those DOE nuclear facilities that have implemented or are going to implement the shift technical advisor position will find this guide useful.
