MANAGEMENT OF SAFETY THROUGH PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE

摘要

Management and organizational issues have been shown to have an important influence on the safety of nuclear power plants. Maintenance activities provide support for continued safe operation and should therefore receive the necessary attention both within and outside the maintenance department. A continuous assessment of organizational performance is one important management tool by which possible deficiencies can be identified and corrected before incidents occur. The use of performance indicators is one important part of such an assessment. The paper presents a system of indicators proposed for a continuous assessment of the safety influence of a maintenance organization at a nuclear power plant. The proposed system of indicators includes both objective and subjective measures.
