Description

A robust health, safety, and security management system is foundational to ensuring that on-site inspection (OSI) activities under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty are conducted safely, efficiently, and effectively while maintaining the trust and cooperation of all parties involved. A build-up exercise and prior training highlighted three vectors which are integral to instilling a health, safety and security culture that is applicable and flexible enough for the specific challenges of an OSI. Procedural documentation provides the basis for health, safety, and security during OSI activities. It establishes standardized guidelines and protocols that are applicable to enable inspections in diverse and challenging environments. Training is essential for preparing inspection teams to apply health, safety, and security protocols effectively in real world scenarios. It equips inspectors with the knowledge and skills needed to manage various risks and to ensure a successful deployment. Equipment that is appropriate, effective, and current is essential to ensure both the safety of inspectors and the security of the inspection process. Proper equipment helps minimize health risks, prevent accidents, and enable the inspection. This poster explains the implementation of this health, safety, and security framework along these three vectors. This is applicable to all aspects of an OSI, from current training and exercises, through to post entry into force.
