Faslane sees 15 per cent rise in health and safety slips

Monday 27th October 2014

SCOTTISH CND issued a stark warning yesterday that “major problems” are imminent if safety breaches continue to escalate at the Faslane nuclear base on the Clyde.

The peace campaign’s alert came after a report published by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) revealed that the number of health and safety incidents at Faslane rose by 15 per cent in 2012-13, from 59 to 68 incidents.

Scottish CND campaign co-ordinator John Ainslie said: “If the safety record continues to decline, then it is only a matter of time before there is a major problem.”

The most serious breach was an accident which exposed workers to radiation in August 2012.

Roughly half of the incidents were rated category C by the MoD, meaning that they could potentially have caused radioactive contamination.

In the last five years there have been 316 “nuclear safety events.”

Other safety breaches include over 70 fires and more than 3,000 “near miss” industrial accidents.

SNP defence spokesperson Angus Robertson MP described the revelations as “chilling” and called on the MoD to “address these breaches and tighten procedures.”
