In accordance with WSSR, individuals have the responsibility to report nuclear safety hazards and deficiencies to supervisors and the ______.

• A. Unit Safety Representative
• B. Safety Officer
• C. Maintenance Chief
• D. Quality Assurance

Answer: (A)

The key idea is who handles on-site safety concerns within the unit. When nuclear safety hazards or deficiencies are found, you report them not only to your supervisor but also to the Unit Safety Representative, who serves as the on-site safety focal point for the unit. The Unit Safety Representative is responsible for receiving, documenting, and tracking safety issues and coordinating immediate mitigations or corrective actions, and they escalate matters to the Safety Officer as needed. This arrangement keeps hazard reporting and follow-up grounded in the unit’s safety program and ensures timely attention to nuclear safety concerns. The Safety Officer oversees the broader safety program, but the direct point of contact for day-to-day hazard reporting at the unit level is the Unit Safety Representative.
