ASN Report 2018

Furthermore, and in order to recognise the expertise and experience of its inspectors, ASN has set up a process enabling it to select senior inspectors from among its staff, to whom it can entrust inspections that are more complex or with more significant implications. As at 31 December 2018, 49 ASN nuclear safety and radiation protection inspectors were senior inspectors, or nearly 14.5% of the 339 ASN staff members holding at least one accreditation. In 2018, nearly 4,635 days of training were provided to ASN staff through 238 sessions forming part of 125 different courses. • Social dialogue As a State administration, ASN has three social dialogue bodies: ∙ ∙ the Social Dialogue Committee (SDC), with competence for all questions concerning the organisation and working of the departments, workforce and budget aspects; ∙ ∙ the Joint Consultative Commission (CCP) with competence for all individual or collective questions concerning ASN’s tenured contract staff; ∙ ∙ the Health, Safety and Working Conditions Committee (CHSCT) with competence for all questions concerning the occupational health and safety of ASN staff. These three bodies allow wide-ranging and regular internal discussions on all subjects affecting its organisation, its operations and the working environment of its personnel. During 2018, the ASN Social Dialogue Committee (SDC) met on five occasions, including two extraordinary sessions, to discuss various subjects: the on-call duty system, the time charter and the use of teleworking and roaming work, the reorganisation of the ASN support and transverse departments, the ASN internal regulations and their appendices (charter of ethics and analysis and assessment charter), the pricing policy for the administrative canteen, the professional elections (obligation to ensure a balanced male/female representation within the personnel social dialogue bodies), the travel charter, preliminary administrative inquiries, the social audit, the training audit, or implementation of the budget. For its part, the CHSCT focused on ensuring that the occupational health and safety aspects are considered in the above-mentioned major programmes. It met on three occasions in 2018. The debates and discussions with the personnel representatives also covered the following topics: ∙ ∙ the actions fostered by the CHSCT, more particularly monitoring the Prevention of Psychosocial Risks (RPS) and the operating audit of the RPS unit; ∙ ∙ annual audit of the general health, safety and working conditions situation at ASN; ∙ ∙ coordination of the network of prevention assistants; ∙ ∙ the occupational health/safety inspector’s visit to the head office premises; ∙ ∙ the visits by the CHSCT delegation to the Châlons-en- Champagne and Strasbourg divisions. In consultation with the member of the CHSCT and with the assistance of the network of prevention assistants, the administration continued its actions to improve the prevention of occupational risks and launched its campaign to update the consolidated Occupational Risks Assessment Document (DUERP). For its part, the Joint Consultative Commission, with competence for contractual staff, met twice in 2018. In addition to the procedure to give tenure to contractual staff set out in Decree 2016-1085 of 3 August 2016 and which expired at the end of 2018, the debates mainly concerned the procedures for hiring and employing contractual staff at ASN and their career development and mobility projects. It should be noted that regarding the actions decided on by the CCP, the administration organised a first meeting in June 2018, bringing together all the contractual staff assigned to ASN. This meeting should become a regular occurrence. Finally, in the same way as the rest of the civil service, ASN organised professional elections on 6 December, to renew the representatives of the SDC and the CCP. These elections were marked by a turn-out of just under 75% for the SDC and just over 70% for the CCP. • Professional ethics The legislative and regulatory texts concerning professional ethics issued since the end of 2011 comprise a number of obligations, implemented at ASN in the following way: Declaration obligations: ∙ ∙ Public Declaration of Interests (DPI) stipulated in Article L. 1451-1 (derived from Act 2011-2012 of 29 December 2011 on strengthening the safety of drugs and health products) and Articles R.  1451-1 and following of the Public Health Code: the 4 July 2012 decision by the ASN Chairman applies the DPI requirements to the members of the Commission, the management committee and the GPMED (Advisory Committee for Radiation Protection for Medical and Forensic Applications of Ionising Radiation). Until mid-July 2017, the DPI were posted on the ASN website. The DPI are henceforth declared on the single remote-declaration site. There are 65 of them. ∙ ∙ Declarations of interests and assets to the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (HATVP) derived from Act 2013-907 of 11 October 2013 on Transparency in Public Life: the members of the Commission submit their declarations on the HATVP website. The same applies to the Director General (DG), the Deputy Director Generals, the Secretary since 15 February 2017 (modification of the Act of 13 October 2013 by Act 2016-1691 of 9 December 2016 extending the declaration obligations to the persons occupying these functions).
