Site inductions

 (1) It is a condition that the licence holder must ensure that all persons entering the site of the regulated activity receive a site induction:

 (a) before first entering the site; and

 (b) if the person has not received a site induction in the previous 12 months—before entering an NNP facility, or interacting with NNP material or NNP equipment or plant, at the site; and

 (c) before interacting with a kind of NNP material or NNP equipment or plant, at the site, if the person has not received a site induction that covered that kind of NNP material or NNP equipment or plant in the previous 12 months.

 (2) The site induction must cover:

 (a) nuclear safety and radiation hazards and risks at the site in relation to the regulated activity and the kinds of NNP material or NNP equipment or plant at the site; and

 (b) for persons at higher risk—the severity of such hazards and risks; and

 (c) how to respond to a nuclear safety incident and any other emergency or incident that could occur in relation to the regulated activity at the site; and

 (d) reporting requirements for nuclear safety incidents and other emergencies or incidents.

Review of induction material and reporting

 (3) It is a condition that the licence holder must review the appropriateness and effectiveness of the induction material:

 (a) after the end of each period of 12 months during which the licence is in force (with the first of those periods beginning on the day the licence is issued); and

 (b) each time significant changes are required to ensure nuclear safety.

Note: The calculation of a period mentioned in paragraph (a) is not to include any periods during which the licence is suspended: see subsection 52(3).

 (4) It is a condition that the licence holder must cause the review to be completed within 3 months after:

 (a) if paragraph (3)(a) applies—the end of the relevant 12 month period; or

 (b) if paragraph (3)(b) applies—the significant change is made.

 (5) It is a condition that the licence holder must, within 14 days of the completion of the review, provide the Regulator with a report on the outcomes of the review that includes details of:

 (a) the assessment of the appropriateness and effectiveness of the material; and

 (b) how any identified deficiencies were, or are proposed to be, rectified.

Note: The licence holder must receive approval from the Regulator before implementing a change identified in the review if the change is significant or may have significant implications for nuclear safety: see section 55.
