These (JPMs) guides provide information on tasks common to many sites. Each site must complete a documented job evaluation to validate core and site specific tasks. JPMs should be developed following the DOE Guide to Good Practices and the Training Accreditation Program (TAP) manuals. All tasks identified in the job evaluation should be included in the overall practical training program.

1. The format of the JPM is flexible and should be tailored to each site and task as appropriate. Each JPM should include all the elements listed on the DOE suggested Task Worksheets. 2. All "Critical" task elements shall be identified on the JPM. A critical task element is defined as any element of the task that is deemed crucial to the satisfactory performance of the task. An element may be critical if its omission or improper execution: a. Causes or could cause a serious injury or dangerous situation b. Causes or could cause damage to any system or component to the extent that it prevents the system or component from being immediately available for its intended purpose c. Results in incomplete task performance d. Violates security e. Results in an out of tolerance condition or measurement which prevents the equipment from meeting facility procedures or specifications f. Violated a standard maintenance procedure such as improper use of a test equipment or and tools, etc. (this does not include performing procedure steps out of sequence) g. Causes excessive delay(s) due to unnecessary troubleshooting, removal or replacement of components, or rejection of serviceable equipment. Continued Next Page 1 ________________________________________________ DOE-HDBK-1122-2009 Introduction (continued Development of 3. The instructor should list the questions the student will Training/Evaluation be asked before, during, and after the performance Standards (continued) evaluation to confirm the student has the knowledge to perform the task in a safe and efficient manner. 4. The instructor shall list the steps the student must perform in order to pass the performance evaluation. Methods of accomplishment should be designated for each task. There are four possible methods of accomplishment. P Perform the specified task using approved procedures and observing all applicable safety and administrative requirements. This includes a thorough discussion (usually prior to performing the task) addressing safety implications, elements involved, the effects on associated equipment or systems, and abnormal Situations which may arise while performing the task. This method of accomplishment is the most desirable level for performance testing. S Simulate performance of the specific task. Using approved procedures, "walk through" the task and simulate all actual manipulations valves, switches, tools, etc) an employee would perform. Describe applicable safety and administrative requirements and the parameters meter readings, charts, measurements, etc) an employee would observe/monitor during actual performance of the task. Conduct the same discussion as required for a perform signature. Observe an individual performing the specified task. Conduct the same discussion as required for a perform signature. D Discuss the specified task using applicable procedures and discussions as required to perform the task. Demonstrate knowledge of the task by describing the manipulations required and the parameters that may be expected to change. This method of accomplishment is the least desirable for performance testing. Continued Next Page 2 ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ DOE-HDBK-1122-2009 Introduction (continued) Development of 5. Simulate, observe, and discuss should be used only Training/Evaluation when perform is not feasible, such as in a high radiation Standards (continued) area.

6. Job Performance Evaluations shall be conducted by a trainer/evaluator who has received training in on-the- job training and/or evaluation techniques. Conduct Job Performance 1. The student should request an evaluation from a trainer/ Evaluation evaluator. 2. The trainer/evaluator reviews the appropriate documentation a. Qualification standards b. Standard operating procedures c. Applicable Training Evaluation/Standard 3. The trainer/evaluator verifies student prerequisites a. Student has completed on-the-job training b. Student has had adequate practice time 4. The trainer/evaluator schedules the evaluation as time and facility conditions permit. 5. The trainer/evaluator at the beginning of the evaluation, will as a minimum, provide the student with the following: a. Ground rules (clear, complete instructions) b. Review of task steps, if necessary c. Review of acceptable performance standards and criteria 6. The trainer/evaluator asks questions to verify the student's knowledge as required by the procedure, Training Evaluation/Standard, or qualification standard before the student is allowed to operate equipment. Once the instructor is sure the student understands the task, the student is allowed to perform it. Continued Next Page 3 ________________________________________________ DOE-HDBK-1122-2009 Introduction (continued) Conduct Job Performance 7. All performed or simulated steps must be accomplished Evaluation (continued) without coaching from the trainer/evaluator. 8. Each step should have a grading system to indicate satisfactory or unsatisfactory completion. 9. Students shall have access during the evaluation to all tools, equipment/instruments, procedures, reference materials, and other assistance that would normally be available during task performance. 10. The trainer/evaluator may ask the student questions before, during, and after the evaluation to confirm the student's understanding and comprehension. 11. Any action or answer which would place the plant, system, or personnel in danger is an immediate cause for issuing an unsatisfactory performance evaluation, regardless of the acceptability of other actions and answers. The trainer/evaluator must be prepared to take control of the process at any point where the student's course of action would jeopardize the safety of personnel or equipment. 12. When the performance evaluation has been completed, the trainer/evaluator shall sign, date, and indicate on the JPM a final Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory decision. The student will also sign the JPM. Comments may be added by both the trainer/evaluator and student.
