Post-training evaluation program for radiological worker training

Conference ·
OSTI ID:45315

Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) has developed an innovative method to implement a post-training evaluation program for Radiological Worker Training. The DOE Radiological Control Manual requires that a method be established to verify the effectiveness of Radiological Control Training, which makes this innovative method more crucial. Savannah River Site`s method utilizes videotaped scenarios which illustrates a variety of topics and situations covered in RWT. The use of realistic scenarios on videotapes places the usual mundane topics into a more interesting perspective for the radiological workers (4% of the population which is about 400 workers at SRS) and then administers a multiple-choice questionnaire, consisting of 20 objective-based questions. The results are used to determine which areas of the current RWT program need reinforcement. This is a continuous evaluation program and therefore, is repeated about every six months with new video material and questionnaires developed as needed. SRS is currently in the third cycle of the Post-Training Evaluation Program. The first Post-Training Evaluation was implemented from October 1991 - March 1992.
