safety culture |
|
Safety is the backbone of the global nuclear sector and is enshrined
in all actions of each and every member of the nuclear environment. This
extends beyond the call for safety in design and operation to the
fundamental requirement for each individual to practise safety within
the work environment. |
|
values based strategy |
|
Our basic beliefs, values, leadership behaviours and attitudes form
the foundation of the company's safety culture. One of the PBMR core
strategies were to establish, improve and maintain a strong safety culture
within PBMR. |
|
For this reason, PBMR established a safety culture enhancement
programme and plan. The main goal of the programme was to develop a fully
functional and effective integrated safety management system within the
company. An important element of this was to maintain and enhance the
safety culture within the organisation to be in line with the best
international practice. the objective of the implementation of the
programme was the sustainable continuous improvement of the
organisation's safety culture and the nuclear safety characteristics of
PBMR's products. |
|
the safety culture
assessment review team found the following signs of a strong safety
culture: |
|
"The managers and employees at PBMR are committed to improving the
safety culture of their nuclear design organisation. Both management and
employees are open and eager to learn from international experience. A
positive attitude has been observed among the host peers from PBMR, who
appeared to be extremely frank, sincere and honest, and always jointly
looking for deficiencies. |
|
Safety in design is a priority topic in meetings, at senior
management as well as group level; each section or group conducts a
regular meeting on safety incorporated in the design, using experience
gained at PBMR and other nuclear design organisations throughout the
world. |
|
Management, from CEO to line managers, has a clear
understanding of nuclear safety, and especially safety in design, and
the importance of communicating a nuclear safety message. Everywhere in
working areas, posters address safety culture and stress the commitment
of management to safety in design. |
|
Management shows a long-term and proactive approach to safety in
design." |
