4.0             Process Steps

4.1              Identify Required Training

Step 1.             Anyone may submit a request for ES&H training to the appropriate Hazard Issue SME.

Step 2.             SME determines:

IF

THEN

A lab-wide training course already exists.

Inform requestor and provide the course number.

Off-site job-specific training is appropriate

Provide recommendation(s) for qualifying course following the Job Related Training process.

Event Specific (one time only) session is warranted

Continue to Step 3.

A lab-wide training course is required

Continue to Step 3.

Step 3.             SME submits course request to the AD-ES&H, citing justification and skill(s) the course is required to teach.

4.2              Course Authorization and Owner Designation

Step 1.             AD-ES&H authorizes training course production:

IF

THEN

Authorized

Assign a Course Owner – typically the SME

Not Authorized

Provide feedback to the requestor with an explanation.

4.3              Course Production

Step 1.             Develop a viable lesson plan and submit to AD-ES&H for approval; include:

·         Required pre-requisite training

·         Target audience

·         Re-qualification period

·         Identification of learning objectives/skills

·         Course outline

·         Method to verify objectives are met/skills are attained

Step 2.             Develop a Job Task Analysis (JTA) question to add to the system.

Step 3.             Develop training material meeting the criteria established in the lesson plan. 

Step 4.             Submit training material (at least a script or outline) to the HR-TPO, which will return a deployable course including (if appropriate) narration, animation, completion tracking link, and skill code(s).

4.4              Course Review/Approval

The Course Owner performs the following process steps.

Step 1.             Conduct a “Beta-Test” of the course. Include a Division Safety Officer, SME, affected supervisor, and staff member.

Step 2.             Provide an ES&H Training Course Evaluation to “Beta-Test” participants, if appropriate.

Step 3.             Revise training content based upon feedback from “Beta-Test” participants in concert with HR-TPO. If there are extensive revisions, another “Beta-Test” could be required. 

Step 4.             Obtain approval from AD-ES&H to activate course.

Step 5.             Inform HR-TPO that the course has been approved.

4.5              Course Activation

Upon course approval, HR-TPO performs the following process steps:

Step 1.             Enter the course and the skill(s) it teaches into the Learning Management System (LMS). 

Step 2.             Update the JTA (or otherwise notify targeted individuals that the course is required).

Step 3.             Credit beta test participants.

Step 4.             Determine course review date.

Step 5.             Publish/activate the course and notify the Course Owner.

4.6              Periodic Review

Prior to the designated review date, the Course Owner reviews the material and content to determine if updates are required. 

IF

THEN

No updates required

Notify (email is sufficient) the AD-ES&H and HR-TPO that the course has been reviewed and no changes are necessary.

Updates required

Go to “Update a Course.”

4.7              Update a Course

NOTE: Minor edits (e.g., grammar, punctuation, picture swapping, etc.) may be submitted directly to HR-TPO. 

The Course Owner performs the following process steps:

Step 1.             Review the course program and original lesson plan.

Step 2.             Denote additions, deletions, or other edits to ensure compliance with requirements. 

Step 3.             Submit edits for lesson plan and course to HR-TPO.

NOTE: HR-TPO evaluates requested revisions to ensure course objectives continue to be met, test criteria remains adequate, and for other requirements per department procedures; revisions are incorporated as appropriate. 

 

Depending on the extent of the revisions, another beta test may be recommended.  See Section 4.5 Course Review/Approval.

4.8              Deactivate a Course

If a training course is no longer required, the Course Owner performs the following process steps:

Step 1.             Citing justification, submit a request to “Deactivate Course” to the AD-ES&H.
