APPENDIX H. NON-SEQUENTIAL TESTS/ASSESSMENTS
ANNEX 3. OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE (HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING)
H.3-3 OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE REPORT.
Record, describe, and score actual and potential unsafe operations and maintenance practices by
using observations, video records, checklists, measurements, and operator and maintainer
debriefings. Note, the experience and impressions gained by the test persons during handling of
the equipment should be recorded during and/or immediately after the tests. This could be done
best in the form of standardized interviews made by persons who are experienced in social sciences
(e.g., HFE's) using a catalog of previously determined questions. The interview results shall be
evaluated based on social science criteria (statistical evaluation, etc.).
H.3-4 EMITTED RADIATION.
H.3-4.1 Control Methods.
Review existing data on system high-power emitters, including radio or radar band transmitters,
non-coherent or coherent (laser) infrared, visible, and ultraviolet band transmitters, etc., and
include radioactive sources such as optical lenses, indicators, references, etc., against appropriate
safety standards. Review the methods used to control these emitters, including safety devices and
operational and maintenance safety procedures.
H.3-4.2 Radiation Protection Procedures.
Non-ionizing radiation measurements are performed to provide a health hazard assessment.
Special precautions may be required for items that produce ionizing radiation. For example, it
may be necessary to control the exposure of personnel to the radiation. Consult with the
installation Radiation Protection Officer during the test planning phase to develop radiation
protection procedures for these emitters. Verify the emission characteristics of these devices, to
include mapping of levels at operator or maintainer positions, if applicable.
H.3-4.3 Inadvertent Activation.
Test and analyze operations which inadvertently trigger the emitter or change its output
characteristics such as operator error, EMR, climatic and dynamic environments, improper
installation, interlock bypass, etc. Test and assess shields as necessary.
