I'd like to firstly welcome the very recent appointment of Dame Judith Hackitt as our new interim Chair, who will take over from the outgoing Mark McAllister, from the start of 2024.
Dame Judith has significant past regulatory experience including with the Health and Safety Executive, and we are sure the considerable expertise she brings to this new role will greatly benefit our continued growth and development.
In recent weeks, we have published our Annual Report and Accounts, covering 2022/23, providing a summary of our regulatory, organisational and financial performance as we continue to work towards delivering more efficient practices to remain an effective and respected regulator both at home and abroad.
I was also delighted to see the publication of our new model and measure of safety culture, developed for us by the Alliance Manchester Business School, an integral part of us assessing nuclear dutyholders' organisational safety cultures and allowing for valuable learning across the industry.
As always, if you have any comments about ONR, any of the topics included in this newsletter, or our work in general, please get in touch via contact@onr.gov.uk.
Best wishes
Rachel Grant Director of Policy and Communications |
