Introduction

Ubique Risk Management partnered with the National Skills Academy for Nuclear (NSAN) to create and deliver the all-new ‘Triple Bar Nuclear Security’ (TBNS) training course.

Objective

The course was developed to provide learners with first-hand practical knowledge of working securely within the civil nuclear industry in the United Kingdom. The content covers a range of aspects intended to educate and encourage positive engagement in their organisation’s and client’s security cultures.

It also highlights common areas of risk and provides guidance on avoiding pitfalls, and protecting individuals, their organisations, and the civil nuclear industry as a whole.

The TBNS is designed to be of use to persons in any job role, providing them with a distinct advantage in a highly regulated environment.

Solution

The course aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of learners about the fundamentals of nuclear security in the UK focussing on core concepts including:

Legislation, regulation, and stakeholders.
Assets to be protected and threats.
Pre-employment and pre-site visit security awareness vetting and clearance levels.
On-site security awareness including general rules, security culture, personnel security, physical security, information security, and cyber security.

The information is captured in 3 specific modules:

Civil Nuclear Industry Basic Security Directives.
Civil Nuclear Industry Basic Security Essentials.
Civil Nuclear Industry Basic Security Accountability.

“I wish this training course was around when I first came into the nuclear industry three years ago. Even though I am working in a security-related role, I have still learned so much from attending this training, and have a deeper understanding of the reasons why we do what we do. This should be made a mandatory training course in my opinion for anyone who works in this sector in any profession. Excellent course!”
