Braidwood Security Managen. ant has worked hard to ensure above average security support to the Station. To address the attentiveness issue, stand-down meetings were held with all Security Force personnel. These meetings emphasized the importance of being attentive-to-duty, perception of being inattentive, and the steps to take if an employee believes they may not be fit.for-duty. Additionally, the Supervisor's role, in helping employees maintain attentiveness, was re-emphasized. These actions were taken to assure that each employee understands the importance or maintaining attentiveness, the negative impact of a perception ofinattentiuness, and that they can take steps to avoid becoming inattentive, without penalty.

The following conunitments were made in the attachment to this letter:

a Security contractor management will develop a training seminar that addresses the everallissue ofinattentiveness. This seminar shall discuss past failures and provide employees with simple and effective alternatives to avoid inattentiveness problems.

The seminar entitled " Stand and Call" will be presented to all Security employees

during the flat quarter of 1998. All subsequently hired employees will receive this training prior to being assigned regular duties.
