Brief Description of Best Practice:
:
This guide provides a template for an electrical
functional area qualification program.
Why the best practice was used:
The DOE/EFCOG Electrical Safety Improvement
Project developed seven distinct project areas for improving
electrical safety. The task team for Project Area #2,
“Technical Authorities and Qualifications,” committed to submit
a recommended best practice to the EFCOG Integrated Safety
Management Working Group for posting on the EFCOG Best Practices
website addressing consistency of qualification requirements for
electrical safety authorities throughout the DOE complex.
What are the benefits of the best practice:
Provide DOE contractors with a template to
set up a successful qualification program for electrical
safety authorities and other personnel involved in
electrical safety.
What problems/issues were associated with the Best Practice:
The DOE/EFCOG Electrical Safety Improvement
Project identified a need for a more consistent approach to
electrical safety personnel qualifications.
How the Best Practice implemented:
The subject Best Practice has been reviewed
by the EFCOG Integrated Safety Management Working Group and
made available to the EFCOG member sites for consideration
in their electrical safety programs.
Description of process experience using the Best Practice:
There is no operating experience with the
subject Best Practice at this time.
