– Hôpitaux de Paris, CEA, IRSN, Departmental Fire and Emergency Response Service). ASN utilises a diversified hiring policy with the aim of ensuring that there are sufficient numbers of the qualified and complementary human resources needed to perform its duties. Skills management Alongside independence, transparency and rigour, competence is one of the core values at ASN. The tutor system, initial and continuing training, whether general, linked to nuclear techniques, the field of communication, or legal matters, as well as day-to-day practices, are essential aspects of the professionalism of ASN staff. Management of ASN personnel skills is built primarily around a qualifying technical training programme tailored to each staff member, based on professional training requirements that include minimum experience conditions. Pursuant to the provisions of Article L.592-22 and L.592-23 of the Environment Code, which notably state that “[ASN] appoints the nuclear safety […] and radiation protection inspectors from among its staff” and Decree 2007-831 of 11 May 2007 setting out the procedures for appointing and qualifying nuclear safety inspectors, which states that “the nuclear safety inspectors and staff responsible for inspecting nuclear pressure equipment […] are chosen according to their professional experience and their legal and technical knowledge”, ASN has set up a formalised process leading to the qualification of a large number of its staff for performance of its inspections and, as applicable, judicial policing duties. ASN also carries out labour inspectorate duties in the nuclear power plants, pursuant to Article R. 8111-11 of the Labour Code. For each of the inspectors concerned, the accreditation decision taken by ASN is based on the match between the skills acquired –both within and outside ASN– and those specified in the professional baseline requirements. Training has been adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic context. As at 31 December 2021, ASN employed 321 nuclear safety or radiation protection inspectors holding at least one qualification, or nearly 62% of the 519 ASN staff. Nearly 2,400 training days were given to ASN staff during the course of 156 sessions as part of 90 different in-person or video courses. A large volume of self-training hours should be added to these figures. The training committee ensures that the training system matches the needs and strategic objectives set out in the multi-year Strategic Plan. 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 the course of 2021, the ASN SDC met on three occasions to tackle various subjects and, for some of them, issued an opinion on texts presented by the administration: Covid-19 pandemic and the organisation of the continuity of activities; plan to relocate the Dijon regional division and the DEP; operation of the training committee; single social report; information concerning senior positions and professional elections in 2022. On the occasion of the last SDC of the year, a particular point was devoted to organising negotiations regarding home-working at ASN. For its part, the CHSCT focused on ensuring that occupational health and safety aspects were taken into account in ASN’s organisational and operational changes and in the performance of its duties. It met on three occasions in 2021. Regular remote meetings between the personnel representatives and the administration were held during the lockdown and post-lockdown periods, to share information and discuss adaptations to the organisational and operational instructions needed given the developing health context.
