Pre-job brief video

[dgcaste]

Hello everyone! I'm a maintenance instructor at one of the nuke plants and I'm trying to figure out how I can get my hands on a good pre-job brief video. I heard Fermi 2 had a good one but I haven't been able to find anything.

Direction? Help? Any help would be appreciated!

Are you looking for a video to use as a pre-job brief, or a video about giving pre-job briefs.

Good question. I'm looking for a video about giving pre-job briefs for training. We're expecting crafts to give pre-job briefs and they have limited experience so a video would kind of show them what a good one looks like.

You should make a video customized to your situation and expectations.  Avoid limiting yourself by promoting someone else's idea of what a good PJB looks like.  One size does not usually fit all.

You have a good point. But I want to avoid isolating ourselves to how we want to do briefs. We've made some serious efforts to benchmark INPO 1 plants, and this is one of our areas of weakness.

A video for training people on how to conduct a pre-job briefing?  It's not a complicated thing to deal with.  The best generalized format I've run into I learned while working for the CSX railroad.  They use the acronym SHEPUF.

S - introduce yourself and review the SCOPE OF WORK for the job at hand.
H - review the HAZARDS you anticipate while doing the work.  ALL the hazards!  In a nuclear invironment, this would include the radiological conditions at the job site as well as travel paths.
E - make sure you have the necessary EQUIPMENT for the job and that it is functional and the necessary safety features are in working order.
P - identify the requisite PPE and ensure you have it.
U - do you UNDERSTAND?  Are there any questions?
F - FOLLOW UP on any questions that may arise during the briefing.

Of course, make sure you pass around the signature sheet and ensure everyone at the briefing has signed it.

Too many people clutter up their briefings with unnecesarry information.  The briefer needs to control the content of the briefing and not go chasing after some red herring.  You also need to make sure your crew is paying attention during the briefing.  If you keep this simple acronym in mind, you can handle any pre-job briefing that comes along.
