Description

Many ONR staff are required to travel on official business to attend nuclear facilities in the UK, travel to another ONR office, or attend meetings, conferences, workshops, and/or training events.

Staff may choose to travel to the destinations using their own private vehicle or hire car, often regulatory staff will travel a considerable distance to attend remote nuclear facilities. Driver training forms part of our safety management system suite of controls to mitigate the risk of harm occurring to staff driving for official business purposes, and has been agreed as a sensible precaution by our Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committee in relation to the risk.

For on road training it is expected that it will address the principles of safe driving and how to address the challenges faced on our roads. This should be followed up by an evaluation report, providing recommendations for development if relevant. A copy of the report should be given to the individual, with a further copy provided to the ONR Contract Manager.

It is anticipated that the majority of on road training will be required from any of the ONR office locations in Bootle (Merseyside), Cheltenham or London, but there may be a requirement to provide this from an individual staff member's home address, or any other UK address.

The proposed contract will commence in September 2024 for a 3-year period, with the option to extend for up to 2-years in annual increments (i.e. 3+1+1).
