General Safety Guide

Zurück zur Übersicht "In Entwicklung befindliche Safety Standards"

Background Information

The proposed General Safety Guide is needed for the following reasons:

• To provide recommendations that fully address Principle 3 of SF-1, especially in relation to leadership for safety.
• To update GS-G-3.1 to take account of the new or strengthened requirements introduced
  by GSR Part 2.
• A gap analysis of the coverage of leadership, management, safety culture, and measurement, assessment and improvement in existing safety standards indicated that there is currently a lack of recommendations and guidance for non-nuclear facilities, especially in relation to leadership for safety.
• To provide guidance on applying a graded approach to the application of the requirements of
  GSR Part 2 at facilities of widely varying size and with activities of widely varying risk profiles.
• To take account of revisions to other safety standards since the publication of GS-G-3.1 in 2006.
• To emphasize, as necessary, the concept of quality in the context of management systems.
• To incorporate feedback from Member States, including lessons from the Fukushima Daiichi accident and other events.
• To incorporate experience gained from IAEA peer review missions.
• To take account of new and emerging practices and technologies, for example in the medical and nuclear sectors.
• To establish a new General Safety Guide that will serve as a basis for the future development of Specific Safety Guides (or individual sections of such guides) on leadership, management and culture for safety for specific facilities and/or activities.

The objective of the proposed General Safety Guide is to provide recommendations for all facilities and activities on how to comply with each of the requirements established in GSR Part 2.
