Periodic staff appraisals and personnel performance management pro­grammes are important in the process of determining training and develop­ment needs and for assessing the potential of individuals for future roles in the organisation. It is important therefore that managers and supervisors conduct them objectively and effectively as their importance merits.

5.1.9 Continuing training

Continuing training can be in two forms, refresher training or remedial training. Refresher training is systematically determined in the SAT process and is designed to ensure that personnel maintain the knowledge and skills vital to the safe and effective execution of the tasks assigned to them and to enhance their performance. Plant modifications and/or involvement in infrequently performed tasks and operations evolution can also give rise to the need for such training.

Remedial training can be determined from event investigations, peer reviews or staff appraisals, for example.
