5.0 POLICIES

  • i 5.1 TRAINING  !

It is important that Operations Group personnel be informed of current modifications to operating equipment and systems, procedure revisions, and license changes that have operational or safety ramifications. Such ec5nizance is maintained by i

1. on-shift formal instruction provided by the Training Group or supervisory r,ersonnel, or
2. Instruction as a part of regularly scheduled license retraining ,

that occurs during normal shift rotation (i.e., the normal training week).

5.2 SATETY All employees must strive to insure a safe and healthy working environment within the plant. Accidect prevention is the responsibility of all person-nel. - Prevention, the key to maintaining employee safety and health, is achieved when employees recognize existing or potential problems and act accordingly, before an accident occurs. '

Training, effective leadership, responsibility, and accountability are crucial factors in preventing acci-dents and should be promoted to the greatest extent possible.

Responsibility for safety in the workplace rests primarily with the indivi-dual, for whom the correct way to perform every job is the safe way.

{ From E. A. Brown y,1y 39, 1939 d0 All New Hampshire Yankee Employees We can expect that, in a few short months, New Hampshire Yankee will begin operating Seabrook Station commercially, producing electricity for one '

million New England homes.

I.am confident we will meet this challenging responsibility as a first-rate team of professionals dedicated to the safe, efficient operation of our power plant.

Central to our success as an organization are certain core values'and a work ethic that we must follow to achieve success.

In May I began working on.a statement on-core values and work ethic for New Hampshire Yankee. The document you are receiving today represents review!

and input from a variety of New Hampshire Yankee' employees.

I believe it is important that these values form the basis for everything we~do as' professionals and as New Hampshire Yankee employees.

This' core values and work ethic document will' serve its intended purpose only if it is formally integrated into the New Hampshire Yankee culture.

These values must'be reinforced, used and reread on an ongoing basis.

To that end, I have directed that the Employee Relations Department take steps to include implementation of this policy statement in the formal New Hampshire Yankee personnel evaluation process.

For the organization as a whole I have directed that there be prepared for me a semi-annual review of our adherence to this core values and work ,

ethic policy by the Independent Review Team.

I see this document as a continual reminder of the significant responsibility placed on each of us to operate Seabrook Station and manage New Hampshire Yankee in the most professional manner possible. Everyday application of these core values and work ethic will ensure that we're always ready to meet the challenge of our responsibility. ,
