Approved 9/27/99 REQUIREMENT 5.7.1 Similar Occurrences Documented in Non-Finalized Occurrence Report. Roll-Up Reports are permitted when a Final Report has not been approved for similar occurrences that meet the threshold requirements of this Manual and are expected to have the same root cause code (Field #22), the same or similar direct and contributing causes, and the same or similar corrective actions. INTERPRETATION An event occurs, such as a minor personnel contamination that is considered to be a candidate for a Roll-Up Report. However, an existing report is not in the occurrence reporting system for that facility. How can that report be identified as a roll-up occurrence? Can that report be rolled-up into a report at another facility? Intent: An occurrence can not be rolled-up into an occurrence report for another facility. Additional Information: If roll-ups were allowed to be from different facility designations, then the trending and tracking of the information would not be accurate. There also could be a problem with involving the appropriate Facility Managers, Facility Representatives, and Program Managers. Some contractors do have a facility designation that is intended to be for events that are generic in nature or that have affected several facilities. If approved by the Facility Representatives and Program Managers, this method could be one way to effectively utilize the roll-up reporting option. Minor contaminations and defective items, material, services are good examples for that kind of reporting. These should be site-wide generic issues and rolling them up could strengthen capability for site-wide corrective actions. Carefully consider the factors when attempting to roll-up events under a generic facility code. |
