Formation of a Safety Culture During Nuclear Plant Construction Power Plants in the Arab Republic of Egypt

This article analyzes the state of safety culture during the construction of a nuclear power plant in the Arab Republic of Egypt. Based on the results of the analysis of the compliance of the collected facts with regulatory criteria, it was established that when performing construction and installation work in the Arab Republic of Egypt at the El-Dabaa NPP construction site, the safety culture has an “involving level” of development with “proactive” components. Based on the results of an independent assessment of the state of safety culture, strengths were identified (in decision making, problem identification and resolution, leadership responsibility, a working environment of mutual respect, effective communication on safety issues), areas of sufficiency (in personal responsibility, continuous self-learning, voicing concerns and planning work) and a growth point (area for improvement) with a critical attitude requiring increased personnel focus on improving safety.
