Global Safety Regime
The Agency has put forward the vision of a global safety regime that provides for the protection of people and environment from effects of ionizing radiation.
Main elements:
- Comprehensive national and international safety infrastructure provide the framework for achieving high levels of safety and continuous improvement
- Widespread subscription to intergovernmental agreements on safety helps to promote the pursuit of high levels of safety worldwide
- A comprehensive coherent and authoritative suite of universally accepted safety standards embody the current best safety practice
- Integrated and harmonised approaches are adopted in applying these universal safety standards, and
- Self sustaining regional and global networks of knowledge and experience provide the supporting technical infrastructure for continuous learning and improvement of safety.
