Competency for nuclear power operators. A system for the acquisition and maintenance of operator competence in nuclear power plants
paced work sufficiently great to place workers at a higher-than-normal risk for health disorders? Past research cited in the literature and current projects being conducted or supported by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are reviewed here which bear on answers to these questions. 13.2.40 (81551) European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions. Research programme on shiftwork in the European Community 1977-1980. European Foundation, Dublin, 1980; abstr in Department of Employment,
aimed at improving the living and working conditions of shiftworkers, (4) actual costs (both present and future) of shiftwork for the workers, the enterprises and the collectivity. This paper briefly describes the programme of research planned. It is available from The European Foundation, Loughlinstown House, Shankill, County Dublin, Ireland. The Foundation has now produced nine volumes, one for each member state, with the collective title 'The spread of shiftworking in the European Community', which details the findings of the first part of the programme. These are also available from the above address.
Work Research Unit, Information System Abstracts. Since 1977 the European Foundation L-a Dublin has been sponsoring a programme of research on shiftworking. The main aspects of shiftworking studied under this programme are: (1) spread of, and development trends in, shiftwork in the nine member states, (2) consequences of shiftwork on the social life and health of workers, (3) innovatory experiments underway at the present time and which are

Ergonomrad AB, Karlstad, Sweden, Report No 16 1980, 46 pp. A system for the acquisition and maintenance of competency for control room personnel at Swedish nuclear
power plants is presented. The competency requirements have been derived through job analysis of the control room jobs. Important means for influencing the competency level are the types of personnel who are recruited and how the personnel are trained in basic job training, in retraining and in continued job training. Also an important activity is the checking of the individual competence. The following parts are found in the competency system: Recruitment requirements; Job training requirementsl Requirements concerning individual competence expressed in terms of competence levels and knowledge and skills; Follow-up of recruitment requirements; Follow-up of job training requirements; Follow-up of individual competence; Registration, documentation and reporting; Periodic revision of the competency system. This report also contains guides for the development and implementation of the different parts of the competency system. Resources needed for the development and the operation of the competency system are reported. The competency foUow-up will be included among the inspections of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate.
