Description

To develop and test a Nuclear specific Human Factors Learning Pathway and provide industry access via a Learning Management System. The pathway should include separate domains for Safety Case, Design and Operations and a combined route covering all three. This is to be achieved over three financial years: 24/25, 25/26 and 26/27. The scope for each year is as follows: Year one - develop and test the level 1 modules for each pathway route and provide industry access via a Learning Management System. Review and revise the specification for level 2 and level 3 modules for each pathway route, as appropriate, based on learning to date. Establish quality assurance processes. Year two - develop and test the level 2 modules for each pathway route and provide industry access via a Learning Management System. Review and revise the level 1 and level 3 modules for each pathway route, as appropriate, based on learning at that time. Year three - develop and test the level 3 modules for each pathway route and provide industry access via a Learning Management System. Review and revise level 1 and 2 modules, as appropriate, based on learning at that time. Identify and agree routes for accreditation with stakeholder including the intelligent customer, steering group, and wider stakeholders. Achieving these scopes will require engagement with industry stakeholders, including licensee and dutyholder organisations, the ONR and other industry bodies.

Legal Justification

ONR asserts its belief that CIEHF are the only economic operator that are capable to support ONR for this requirement. CIEHF have specific experience in developing human factor learning pathways and subject matter expertise in the development of courses that gain accreditation by academic institutions. This puts them in a unique position to develop a suitable learning pathway for the nuclear industry. ONR has no knowledge of any other suitable provider who holds the ability to satisfy its full set of requirements and consequently asserts that all general grounds have been satisfied.
