score a safety hat
trick
A project team from one the UK’s largest
nuclear projects celebrated reaching the
milestone of 1,000,000 man hours without
a lost time accident (LTA) for a third time.
The achievement of the Evaporator D project
team reinforces the progress being made on
the new Highly Active Liquid Evaporator, and
continues the excellent safety record being
maintained by the team.
When complete, Evaporator D will provide
replacement capacity for the existing
evaporators at Sellafield site, playing a
pivotal role in the company’s mission to
safely clean up Sellafield’s historic facilities
and wastes.
Project manager Dan Priebe said: “This is a
significant achievement, particularly when
you take into consideration the challenging
environment and the type of construction
work undertaken by the project team over
the last 12 months, which has included both
the delivery and installation of the largest
module ever to be delivered to the Sellafield
site, the massive Evaporator module which
weighed in at just over 500Te.
“This is clear demonstration of the team’s
commitment to maintaining our impressive
safety standards and reflects well on the
continued success of a strong safety culture
throughout the year.”
Last year the team’s commitment to health
and safety performance improvement gained
site wide recognition when the project was
presented with the 'Most Improved Safety
Performance' award at Sellafield, in
recognition of the year on year improvement
of safety performance since 2010.
