DOE-HDBK-1118-99, DOE HANDBOOK: GUIDE TO GOOD PRACTICES FOR CONTINUING TRAINING (OCT-1999)., This Department of Energy (DOE) Handbook is approved for use by all DOE Components and their contractors. The Handbook incorporates editorial changes to DOE-STD- 1060-93, Guide to Good Practices for Continuing Training, and supersedes and replaces DOESTD- 1060-93. Technical content of this Handbook has not changed from the original technical standard. Changes are primarily editorial improvements, redesignation of the standard to a Handbook, and format changes to conform with current Technical Standards Program procedures. 2. This handbook provides guidance to DOE staff and contractors that can be used to modify existing continuing training programs or to develop new programs. DOE Order 5480.20A, Personnel Selection, Qualification, and Training Requirements for DOE Nuclear Facilities Chapter I, Paragraph 7.d, requires each facility to design and implement a continuing training program for all operating organization personnel who perform functions associated with engineered safety features. Continuing training is necessary to ensure that operating organization personnel continually improve their ability to operate, maintain, and provide support to their nuclear facility(ies) in a safe and reliable manner. Continuing training should also enhance the professionalism of these individuals and should make them aware of the possible consequences of misoperation. DOE contractors should not feel obligated to adopt all parts of this guide. Rather, they can use the information in this guide to develop programs that apply to their facility. This guide can be used as an aid in the design, development, and evaluation of the facility’s continuing training program.
