Optimizing compliance training for DOE workers
Department of Energy workers are required to participate in special training mandated by a variety of Federal laws and DOE Orders. Workforces in production, environmental and health protection, emergency response, transportation, waste management, and research are all subject to mandatory requirements in DOE Orders and other regulations such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA) as implemented by OSHA in CFR 1910.120, in addition to requirements for Hazard Communication, Radiation Workers, Respiratory Protection, Transportation, and Waste Generator training. The Technical Resources and Training Program is examining the course contents of all the ESH compliance training offered at ORNL and the mandated requirements to determine how to best meld these requirements into a training program that will still fulfill all requirements but eliminate the potential for duplication of some elements in successive courses. This approach may not eliminate all duplication between courses, but it should result in significant savings in manhours demanded in a training environment which requires similar information to meet a host of regulatory requirements. The training matrix planned for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will be presented and discussed. 22 refs., 3 tabs.
