Inspectors in our Human and Organisational Capability (HOC) specialism analyse the important role played by people and processes at nuclear sites.
Nuclear sites are often analysed through the lens of the ‘three Ps’ - People, Processes and Plant. Our HOC inspectors focus on the way people working at nuclear sites interact with each other and the processes they follow.
This involves looking at how people working at nuclear sites respond to technical and managerial systems, culture and the work environment. The specialism does this for all UK nuclear sites for the complete life cycle of the plant.
Our HOC specialist inspectors are divided into the following five sub-specialisms:
- Leadership and Management;
- Human Factors;
- Supply Chain;
- Quality; and
- Licensing.
Through targeted engagement with dutyholders these inspectors observe the role people and processes play, both positively and negatively, on the safe operations of nuclear sites to ensure they are meeting the required standards.
