FAQ 06-0007 Response Section:

Proposed resolution of FAQ and the basis for the proposal:

Clarify expected content "familiarization with plant fire prevention procedures, fire reporting, and plant emergency alarms" regarding scope and content the training. This FAQ asks for clarification of what is "familiarization with plant fire prevention procedures, fire reporting, and plant emergency alarms" regarding scope of or depth of the training." Because existing employee general access and indoctrination training is a mature program, and based on NEI 03-04, Guide for Plant Access Training, section 7.5 Fire Protection, consistent information of sufficient detail, is provided at all sites by their General Employee Training (GET) Program. The proposed interpretation contains those key elements listed in the NEI guidance.

If appropriate, provide proposed rewording of guidance for inclusion in the next Revision:

As follows; Clarification NFPA 805 specific sections as may be applied under NEI 04-02, to be included in (New) Appendix K, to NEI 04-02 upon approval of specific clarification (final formatting to be provided by NEI contract writers).

Specific clarification for NFPA 805 section 3.3.1.1, from FAQ 06-0028;

Where used in section 3.3.1.1, the term, "familiarization with plant fire prevention procedures, fire reporting, and plant emergency alarms", should be considered to be acceptable when it includes the minimum following training objectives;

-Location and use of plant fire prevention procedures. -Individual responsibilities regarding fire barriers such as fire dampers, doors, and seals.

-Actions an individual is required to take upon discovery of a fire.

-Individual responsibilities regarding the control of transient combustibles (wood, solvents, oil) and the disposal of flammable and combustible materials.

-Examples of the types of hot work requiring a permit.

-Recognition of, and response to a station fire alarm.

-Other plant specific fire prevention activities. This familiarization may be included as part of the plant's General Employee Training (GET) program.
