1. Pre-Job Brief DLA- Bruce B Engineering 2015

2. Agenda Presentation on Technical Pre Job Briefs HU DLA
Does anyone disagree with this principle: Even the Best people make mistakes? This is important as it is the foundation for the whole Human Performance effort.
Is there anyone here that has never made a mistake?
In some cases our best people can make the worst mistakes!
If we accept that good people can make mistakes and we recognize that we work with unforgiving technology, it places a burden of responsibility on each and every one of us to try to compensate for errors.

3. Our Purpose
Ensure Human Performance Tools are understood and reinforced

4. Ask the class again: Why are we here
Ask the class again: Why are we here? The slide will depict industrial safety pictures.
Each picture will fly in one at a time.
Allow 5 seconds in between each photo. Allow them to react.
Once all 7 pictures have been flown in, ask the class, “why did the people in these photos (except for photo 4) put themselves in those dangerous situations?
Work the answers till you get to the common ground: Lack of PJB. Either the people thought it was ok or it was expected to work that way.
Reason for study:
The reason that we are here today is to understand where we are in our safety culture today, where we have been and where we need to be to make sure that we make the decisions that move us forward and keep us safe. We want to make sure that we stay safe from an industrial/work place standpoint and also from a nuclear safety perspective. We includes you, me and the public.
In the past few years at BRUCE Power we have made great strides in both industrial and nuclear safety. To continue moving forward we need to create a culture that has a reference for recognizing the role that using Human Performance tools plays in ensuring we work safe and error free.
Also in the last few years we as a site and as an industry are seeing an influx of new-to-nuclear workers entering the various fields that encompass our business. We recognize that the more experienced workers operate safely and error free due to much practice over their extensive time in their giving trades. However, those that are new to the industry will need the HU tools to keep them safe and operating error free and our plants stay safe as they begin to gain their experience.
Finally, we need to recognize that we are not always afforded supplemental workers that consistently work in the nuclear setting. Many of them work in other industries throughout the year. This is especially true with the workforce that supports our outages. Since these individuals are not always fortunate enough to work at a station with the same safety culture, it is expected that they will need consistent coaching to keep them working to the expectations that we as BP Employees are accustomed to.
This training is designed to help us recognize as a team what it takes to get us to the final steps in sustaining a safety first culture. 4 4

5. Exercise- “F”s Sentence
Assignment
In the sentence in next slide, in ten seconds, count the number of “F”s.
This Simple exercise can be used to demonstrate error inducing conditions based error.
Ask attendees to hold off reading the sentence on the following slide until the time count is started.
When the next slide is projected onto the screen, immediately start counting the seconds out loud.
Count with increasing volume
Count with increasing speed, giving the attendees only seven seconds before removing the slide from the screen.

6. Exercise “F” Sentence (cont’d)
FINISHED FILES ARE
THE RESULTS OF YEARS
OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY
COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
Ask the seminar attendees how many Fs they counted?
Three is the most counted number, very few attendees will count more than three. Rarely will one count all six of the Fs.
What are some of the Error inducing conditions?
Time Pressure- ten seconds
Too little time- only 7 seconds
Three of the six Fs in small wors “OF” that are skimmed over in reading
Distraction, counting out loud, conflicting with the reader’s count
Distraction, lack of syntax,
How could you have avoided this?
A good pre-job brief could have helped to alert the reader to the possibilities of Fs in small words, poor back ground, and distraction
Even under ideal conditions of one hundred readers, probably tow or three would count less than six F’s.
Inspection is not 100% effective.

7. PJB- Purpose
This tool is used to engage workers prior to a task so they can clearly understand what to accomplish, what to avoid and error likely situations.
Tool should be used for new or unfamiliar assignments, prior to peer review , during turnover or after extended breaks.

8. Behavioral Standards A qualified individual to conduct PJB
Summarize the task accomplishments and risk
Anticipate challenges to human performance using SAFER
Consider following factors: Risks, demands, and complexities of task.
Relevent skills, qualifications, experience, attitude of the assigned individual
An opportunity for assigned inviduals to review the task-related processes and procedures before the PJB>
Scope of problem, the technical tasks being addressed
Personnel roles and responsibilities
Critical attributes pertinent to the activity
Applicable procedures, codes and standards

9. At- Risk Practices to avoid
Discuss generalities instead of specifics
Omitting discussion ( Error Likely Situations, Risk factors, critical activities.
Conducting briefing as a monologue
Not using lessons learned
Not acknowledging the learning curve of the assigned individual.

10. Pre-Job Briefing What is it?
A Pre-Job Briefing is used to engage workers prior to a task so that they clearly understand what to accomplish and what to avoid.
How to Perform a Pre-Job Briefing
USE a graded approach to determine the scope and depth of pre-job briefings by considering the job risk, complexity, and frequency of performance.
 ENGAGE workers in the briefing (e.g., interactive, questions to resolve uncertainty). A reverse Pre-Job Briefing, delivered by those doing the work, is an effective way to engage workers and ensure they understand what to accomplish and what to avoid.
 CONFIRM that the workers understand the requirements and are capable of executing them.
When To Use A Level 3 Pre-Job Briefing (Verbal):
Use this tool for tasks that are low risk and ‘complex or infrequently performed.’ Typically, these are:
 Tasks where the potential for harm is low.
 Tasks where the complexity can result in hazards or unsafe conditions.
 Tasks where the complexity can make it difficult for workers to be aware of the hazards or unsafe conditions (see Appendix B).
 Tasks that are infrequently performed. A Level 2 Briefing would normally be expected for tasks that have not been performed before (i.e., First-time evolutions).
How to Perform a Level 3 Pre-Job Briefing (Verbal):
 USE a “Pre-Job Briefing Checklist” to guide the discussion:
 ADJUST the scope and depth of the briefing to the complexity, difficulty, critical nature and potential hazards of the job.
 ASSIGN roles and responsibilities.
 REVIEW documentation (i.e., procedures, work package instructions, drawings, etc.) that will be used.
 ENSURE the following is covered: (SAFER)
 CONFIRM that workers understand the requirements and are capable of executing them (e.g., have required training / qualifications, not prevented by physical limitations, etc).
When To Use A Level 2 Pre-Job Briefing (Written):
Use this tool for tasks that are high risk and ‘simple or repetitive.’
Typically, these tasks include:
 Much of the work performed in the plant.
 Work with one or more critical steps and potential for harm is high.
 Work governed by Reference Use or Continuous Use procedures.
 First-time evolutions (increases risk, even if task is simple).
 Critical, sensitive evolutions that require increased awareness or coordination.
 Safety System Tests.
 High Risk Evolutions (BP-PROC-00474).
How to Perform a Level 2 Pre-Job Briefing (Written):
 USE a “Pre-Job Briefing Checklist”
 Operations: FORM-11430
 Engineering: FORM for Engineering
 Maintenance and all other work groups: FORM-11024
 TAILOR the Pre-Job Briefing Checklist to the specifics of the job (i.e., written mark-up of the checklist) and use this tailored checklist to guide the discussion.
 ADJUST the level of detail to the complexity, difficulty, critical nature and potential hazards of the job.
 CONFIRM that workers understand.
