The workshop will comprise a series of sessions during which topics related to regulatory oversight and influence of leadership, management for safety and safety culture will be considered. Each session will commence with a scene-setting presentation followed by break-out and plenary discussions. The discussion topics will be selected to reflect recent developments in regulatory approach and will draw upon both the findings of the first Chester workshop and recent events by CNRA/WGIP and IAEA. The discussion topics will be circulated in advance to workshop participants. The workshop will include a presentation on the lessons learned from major events in the high hazard sector. This will highlight the significant contribution to process safety that is made by effective leadership and management for safety.
A number of short position papers from regulatory bodies who are actively developing their approaches will also be invited.
Participation is invited from those who are able to make an active contribution. It is envisaged that the workshop will primarily be of interest to representatives from regulators concerned about the potential impact of poor safety culture and/or engaged in the development or implementation of safety culture oversight methodologies. Representatives of international organisations (IAEA, EC-JRC) and licensees (WANO) will also be invited. In order to enable the workshop to function effectively, attendance will be limited.
