词条 SQEP
释义

  1. References

SQEP is an acronym, standing for Suitably Qualified and Experienced Person. It is usually used to designate:-

  • a professionally qualified person (such as a Chartered Engineer or Project manager)
  • who has several years as a practitioner,
  • is registered in their area of expertise within the organisation and so
  • whose judgement can be used to resolve a technical problem with some finality.

This overall route is usually well-documented to satisfy external regulatory authorities that appropriate personnel are in place along the supply chain to undertake critical responsibilities.

Although not widely used, the term has gained some currency in the UK Nuclear power industry, see for example this safety management audit report from the Health and Safety Executive.

In the UK nuclear context, it is a standard requirement for licensed sites that "The licensee shall make and implement adequate arrangements to ensure that only suitably qualified and experienced persons

perform any duties which may affect the safety of operations on the site or any other duties assigned by or under these conditions or any arrangements required under these conditions.".[1]

In this context, the term is not restricted to professionally qualified personnel or to duties requiring significant technical expertise: any means any

It is essential that all personnel whose activities have the potential to impact on nuclear safety are suitably qualified and experienced (SQEP) to carry out their jobs. This includes both those who directly carry out operations and others such as directors, managers, designers, safety case authors etc whose roles, if inadequately conceived or executed, may affect safety in less visible ways – for example, through introducing latent technical or organisational weaknesses.[2]
and conversely suitably means suitably, not particularly well: the Office of Nuclear Regulation takes SQEPness to be broadly equivalent to the International Atomic Energy Agency concept of 'competence'
IAEA has defined competence as “the ability to put skills and knowledge into practice in order to perform a job in an effective and efficient manner to an established standard” ONR concurs with this definition, which is widely accepted within the international nuclear community. Other factors contributing to a person’s competence include the person’s prior experience, aptitudes, attitudes, behaviours, skills and qualifications.[2]
