How will NB Power Nuclear ensure that the people hired for the construction work will be safe and will have an understanding of the special requirements of the project?
Worker safety during construction and operation will be assured by compliance with the various governing standards including the NB Employment Standards Act and the New Brunswick Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations, as well as the As Low as Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) program. Contractors coming on to the site must participate in an orientation program that includes training on radiation protection, security and general health and safety. In addition, specific training programs will be necessary for the individual tasks being undertaken.
