Description

This paper describes the approach taken by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) to develop and promote a systemic approach to safety from its licence holders. It provides the development of the approach, which the ARPANSA calls holistic safety, and how it has been implemented. The paper then proceeds to explain the ARPANSA inspection programme and how inspection findings can be related to the same common contributing causes of accidents on which the holistic approach to safety is founded.
