ASN Report 2021

The debates and exchanges with the personnel representatives concerned Covid-19 pandemic and the prevention and evaluation of occupational risks during the pandemic, the organisation of the service competent in radiation protection and the procedure regarding the prevention of risks of exposure to ionising radiation for the ASN staff. A working group was set up and an inquiry was held for questions regarding home-working. The conclusions of the inquiry were presented to the CHSCT. As every year, the CHSCT also examined the annual general health and safety situation, and the SST (occupational health services) results at CEA. In addition, the CHSCT carried out two delegation visits, one to the headquarters (General Secretariat) and the other to a regional division (Paris). Finally, in consultation with the members 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 updated the Consolidated Occupational Risks Assessment Document (DUERP). The CCP, which has competence for contract staff, met twice in 2021. The debates primarily concerned the situation of contract staff at ASN and the salary measures applicable to this population. It should be noted that regarding the actions decided on by the CCP, and for the fourth consecutive year, the administration organised a meeting in October 2021, bringing together all the ASN contract staff.
