For several days, a commission consisting of representatives of Rosenergoatom Concern headquarters and experts in the field of occupational health and safety from the Rostov, Smolensk, Kursk, Beloyarsk and Novovoronezh NPPs worked at the construction site of the Leningrad NPP-2 to give an independent assessment of the construction safety.
The audit was aimed at compliance assessment of working conditions with the established standards and requirements. During the audit, the commission inspected the facilities under construction, visited construction base No. 3 and amenity camps, and also monitored the implementation of safety briefings for participants of the construction effort. In addition, they took part in the extended field staff meeting on safety of work.
JSC CONCERN TITAN-2, as the general contractor for the construction of new power units of the Leningrad NPP-2, implements an integrated approach to arranging safe work performance. The Company regularly implements innovative solutions in the field of occupational health and safety and actively exchanges experience with colleagues in the nuclear industry during industry-wide meetings.
Konstantin Khudyakov, Program Director of Leningrad NPP Facilities, JSC CONCERN TITAN-2, noted:
“Our construction site remains one of the best in Russia, and we are proud of the pace of improvements set during the construction of power units 1 and 2. The Commission praised the developed network of safe pedestrian footpaths that completely exclude intersection with vehicles, as well as commissioning of state-of-the-art construction base No. 3, where there are comfortable conditions for personnel: showers, changing rooms, lavatories. Since last year, a number of new practices have been introduced, including modern water machines with a purification system connected to a central water supply system. Wheels of vehicles and roads are washed daily; siren lights are installed on special-purpose vehicles. In addition, we are constantly enhancing visual campaigning by placing information stands and materials on occupational health and safety in crowded places.”
