Role description
The Health, Safety, Security and Environment Committee (HSSECo)
The NDA Board are establishing a HSSE Committee as an advisory body to support it in discharging its responsibilities in respect of issues of Health, Safety (including both nuclear and non-nuclear safety), Security (cyber, information, physical and asset security) and Environment in the NDA group.

In particular, the OpCos have unambiguous responsibility for health, safety, security and environment on their sites. However, the NDA Board has a duty of care over the performance of its whole group in line with its governance framework and, in particular, must be assured that the OpCos are discharging their responsibilities properly.
The HSSE Committee provides oversight of the NDA’s statutory duty of care in line with its governance framework, as the direct or indirect legal owner of group assets and sites and carries out assurance on group compliance with relevant legislation and group policies in matters of HSSE.Regulation of appointment
