Suosituksen perustelu
Work guidance forms a major part of the training of shunting foremen. Trainee competencies are not sufficiently ensured, because the monitoring of work guidance does not give a true picture of the competencies of trainees. Nor does this ensure that all issues have been learned.
Recommendation
When approving safety management systems and persons who are responsible for the verification of personnel skills, the Finnish Transport Safety Agency makes sure that their skills verification methods are sufficient and skills verification is reported accordingly.
Suosituksen tarkennus
The work guidance instructor must document the competencies of the trainee after each shift. Likewise, the trainee must evaluate the outcome of his or her training. The employer must arrange sufficient time for the instructor and trainee to perform evaluations directly after each shift.
