<h3>Statement of Lessons Learned</h3>
<pre>This incident highlights the importance for clearly defining the training, qualification, and certification requirements within a program's technical procedure documents, and providing clear responsibilities for all steps in the process.  During an audit of the Hazardous Materials Program BNL found that a warehouse employee, who was not qualified, had intermittently signed shipping documents for hazardous materials.

<h3>Discussion of Activities</h3>
<pre>On March 18, 2025, a BNL Transportation Safety Officer discovered that a warehouse employee had intermittently signed shipping documents for hazardous materials without having completed all required internal qualifications. Although the employee had received Department of Transportation (DOT) and International Air Transport Association (IATA) training externally, they had not undergone the internal BNL qualification process, which includes a practical on-the-job evaluation. The warehouse technical procedure for this type work did not clearly define the training and qualification requirements.  It was also found that the most recent revision of the warehouse procedure had not been reviewed for adequacy by the BNL Transportation Safety Officer.

Required hazardous material shipping training is offered by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and International Air Transport Association (IATA).  Because these are external organizations, BNL also requires that workers be qualified by the Transportation Safety Officer to confirm competency.  Because prerequisite training and qualification requirements were not clearly stated in either the warehouse shipping procedure nor the Hazardous Materials Transportation Manual (HMTM) the warehouse team assumed that external training alone was sufficient to sign hazardous shipping documents.</pre>
<h3>Analysis</h3>
<pre>The primary issue was a lack of understanding among warehouse workers regarding the difference between training and qualification. 

The absence of clearly defined training, qualification, or certification prerequisites, in both the warehouse procedure documents and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Manual (HMTM), contributed to misinterpretation of requirements. 

The BNL Transportation Safety Officer was not provided an opportunity to review the revisions to procedures, preventing confirmation that process was aligned with current regulatory requirements. 

The Hazardous Material Program's matrix management structure was ambiguous and created uncertainty as to a supervisor's responsibilities, particularly to confirm training prior to assignment of work. 

The Brookhaven Training Management System (BTMS) was not consulted by the warehouse team to confirm that training and qualification were current or adequate.</pre>
<h3>Recommended Actions</h3>
<pre>- A work process flow chart will be developed for the warehouse team which will include the defined steps required to train and qualify hazardous material shippers. 
- A toolbox awareness meeting will be provided to reinforce the differences between trained, qualified, and certified.  It will clarify responsibilities for submitting training records, and how to improve communication between matrixed supervisors. 
- The process will be updated to include when supervisors are to use the Brookhaven Training Management System to confirm that training, qualifications and certifications are current for warehouse workers prior to assigning work.
- Modify warehouse procedures to include required Job Training Assessments (JTAs).
- Revise the Hazardous Material Transportation Manual (HMTM) to clearly state training and qualification requirements for all positions having responsibilities. 
- Modify the warehouse document control procedure to require the Transportation Safety Officer's review for all revisions.</pre>
