ovember 1997: FirstEnergy Formed pril 1999: Commenced Transition of Beaver Valley Operations oot Cause Report on RPV Head Degradation found that Management d a Less than Adequate Nuclear Safety Focus

- Production focus, established by management, combined with taking minimum actions to meet regulatory requirements, resulted in acceptance of degraded conditions

- Davis-Besse was operated as a stand alone plant

- Conditions were identified at relative low threshold, but not properly classified or evaluated by management

- Quality Assurance finding were mixed quality

Background===

  • Human performance issues in nuclear industry
  • U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission research
  • Organizational cultural assessments at Soviet Designed Reactors
  • International Atomic Energy Agency activities in Safety Culture 30

Premise of the Methodology

  • Safety culture exists in an organizational context
  • Schein model of culture

- Artifacts

- Claimed Values

- Basic Assumptions

  • Stages of safety culture development

- Compliance

- Performance

- Process 31

Management of Safety and Safety Culture Culture Process Outcome 32

Safety Culture

  • Safety culture refers to the characteristics of the work environment, such as the values, rules, and common understandings that influence employees perceptions and attitudes about the importance that the organization places on safety 33

Safety Culture Characteristics Generic

  • Aggressively seeking to know what you dont know
  • Designing a reward and incentive environment to recognize the costs of failure as well as the benefits of reliability in which there is respect for people
  • Consistently communicating the big picture and getting everyone to talk about it with each other 34

Safety Culture Characteristics Specific

  • Safety is a clearly recognized value
  • Accountability for safety is clear
  • Safety is integrated into all activities
  • A safety leadership process exists
  • Safety culture is learning-driven 35

Mapping Expectations to the Methodology Expect to see behaviors indicative of:

  • Constructive Values
  • Drive for Perfection
  • Facilitation of Questioning Attitude
  • Minimal Avoidance Behavior

Multiple Methods for Review of Behaviors Methods are:

  • Capable for broad-based use
  • Objective
  • Quantitative and qualitative
  • Able to withstand high scrutiny and use
  • Able to provide convergent validity 39

Multiple Methods for Review of Behaviors Methods include:

  • Functional Analysis
  • Structured Interviews and Focus Groups
  • Behavioral Anchored Rating Scales (BARS)
  • Behavioral Observations
  • Organizational and Safety Culture Survey 40

Implementation of Methodology Functional Areas of Facility Strategic Level Operations Maintenance Technical Training & Support Staff Support Qualifications Safety is a Value Safety Culture Characteristics Accountability

& Ownership of Safety Safety is Integrated into all Work Safety Leadership Process Safety is Learning Driven 41

Implementation of Methodology (continued)

Functional Analysis:

  • Documentation Review to include: (examples)

-Organizational charts

-Important administrative procedures

-Past relevant evaluations conducted by (for) the organization

-Charters for steering committees and performance improvement initiatives

-Relevant external assessments

-Any information the organization thinks may be useful

  • Some preliminary focus groups 42

Implementation of Methodology (continued)

Structured Interviews & Behavioral Anchored Rating Scales (BARS):

  • Personnel to be interviewed include individuals from all organizational components and levels
  • Positions will be identified during the functional analysis; individuals to be chosen by the site
  • Interviews last no more than one hour; occasionally follow-up interviews may be requested
  • BARS are administered at the end of interview; no more than 4 rating scales completed by any interviewee 43

Implementation of Methodology (continued)

Behavioral Observations:

Activities to be observed include:

  • Scheduled meetings
  • Routine activities; e.g., shift turnovers, work planning meetings
  • Unscheduled activities
  • Work processes (when applicable) 44

Implementation of Methodology (continued)

Organizational and Safety Culture Survey:

  • Administered in as large groups as possible
  • Shift personnel scheduled at their convenience
  • Coordinate administration schedule with Human Resources
  • Conducted during first week of the review
  • Coordinate use of demographic variables with site 45

Applications of Methodology

  • Fully implemented in 18 different organizations; partially implemented in 17 additional organizations
  • Implemented across different industries including:

- Nuclear Power - Fossil Fuel

- Chemical Reprocessing - Health Care

- Mining - Research

  • Methodology used effectively in 5 different countries
  • Methodology discriminates between organizations 46

Deliverables from Methodology

  • Debriefing sessions on results with management and employees
  • Report which includes:

-Overall conclusion on Generic Safety Culture Characteristics

-Summaries of Specific Safety Culture Characteristics with description of strengths and areas for improvement

-Conclusions on absence or presence of Safety Culture Characteristics

-Identification of trending of each Specific Safety Culture Characteristic

  • Initiation of transfer of technology for use by site in self-assessment process 47

Outcomes of Methodology

  • Status of generic and specific Safety Culture Characteristics
  • Comparative results to other nuclear and non-nuclear organizations
  • Results need to be integrated with other ongoing activities 48

Schedule of Safety Culture Review Phase Initiated

  • Team Preparation Jan. 8, 2003
  • Functional Analysis Jan. 15, 2003
  • Survey Administration Feb. 4, 2003 (except for some shift crews)
  • Observations Feb. 4, 2003
  • Interviews and BARS Feb. 10, 2003
  • Analysis and Evaluation Feb. 21, 2003
  • Final Report March, 2003 49

Summary

  • The Safety Culture Review Methodology will provide an independent evaluation of the current status of the safety culture characteristics
  • The methodology will also assist in the enhancement of safety culture by identifying ways in which the organization can continuously improve safety culture through self-assessment
  • The Review will facilitate the progression of the development of safety culture from the compliance to performance-based, to continuous improvement stages 50
