2018 HPRCT Conference

The purpose of this presentation is to communicate the alignment between safety culture attributes and trend/cause codes and leveraging this relationship to assess culture and identify actionable recommendations for improvement.

As discussed in NEI 09-07, Fostering a Healthy Nuclear Safety Culture, the Corrective Action Process (CAP) is the largest single source of potential input to the culture monitoring process. Site performance trends are an input to the culture monitoring process, and the examination and communication of organizational trends are part of a healthy safety culture as specified in DOE G 450.4-1C, "Integrated Safety Management System Guide." As such, Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) evaluates causal factors associated with performance trends and individual issues and aligns these factors where appropriate to Safety Culture Focus Areas and Associated Attributes, Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) expectations, and human performance error precursors. From this analysis, overarching focus areas are identified for use as management awareness areas during the conduct of day-to-day business for performance improvement.
