The DOE suggested task worksheets are provided as a guide to develop Job Performance Measures (JPMs).  These 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:

3.   The instructor should list the questions the student will be asked before, during, and after the performance 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.

5.   Simulate, observe, and discuss should be used only when perform is not feasible, such as in a high radiation 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.
