NSG Ltd

To further enhance the strong safety culture that is promoted across the company, NSG will be supporting European Safety Week which is taking place in October. The week aims to raise awareness to make both work and homes safer and healthier for all employees.

Personnel based at NSG’s Head Office in Chorley will be taking part in a variety of exercises throughout the week including a mock up contamination exercise aimed at increasing awareness of the challenges faced by their Site Operations teams on a daily basis. One major challenge associated with completing decommissioning and clean up projects within controlled environments is the control of contamination therefore the exercise will attempt to highlight this for all who take part.

Additional exercises will include hazard spotting, team building and fire safety awareness.

Graham Rogers, NSG’s Director of Health and Safety commented ‘’Contamination control is pivotal in our site Operations- just imagine the potential mess that can be made at home using flour in the kitchen – it gets everywhere, now consider controlling that flour without even being able to see it! Our “flour” is radioactive dust (contamination) and our teams on site control this potential hazard every day through the use and more importantly, the ownership, of good working practices and procedures.’’
