In response to the report, which contained 28 recommendations, Sellafield management developed a three-year plan containing 41 key objectives. A project team was established to lead the implementation, and ensure that best practices identified in some areas of operations were spread across the whole site.
Key achievements since the report include: · The creation of a single safety management system at Sellafield, with roles and responsibilities clearly identified.
· Creating the post of Director Sellafield Site, with full accountability for safety and operations across the site.
· Major changes to the BNFL organisation from board level down, which refreshed and strengthened the organisation at all levels and provided clear lines of accountability.
· Implementation of robust independent audit and review arrangements, through the use of external groups, and the establishment of corporate independent inspectors and independent compliance advisors.
· Focussed training to enhance behavioural skills and attitudes through implementation of clear standards and expectations.
BNFL chief executive Norman Askew said: "Our recovery is complete, and we are continuing to move forward with increased momentum. We have now successfully made the transformation we promised to all our stakeholders."
