REGDOC-2.8.1 - Conventional Health & Safety
Description
This regulatory document provides information on conventional health and safety (CHS).
In accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA), the CNSC has a mandate related
to the risks to health and safety of persons associated with the development, production and use
of nuclear energy, with the production, possession and use of nuclear substances, and with
prescribed equipment and information. CHS is a safety and control area (SCA) that covers the
implementation of a program to manage workplace safety hazards and to protect workers.
Occupational health and safety (OHS) seeks to prevent worker illness and injuries through the
proactive identification and mitigation of hazards. OHS in a nuclear setting consists of four
SCAs: CHS; emergency management and fire protection; physical design; and radiation
protection.
The CNSC evaluates each SCA to determine whether licensees meet the regulatory requirements
set out in the NSCA and its associated regulations.
