</p><p>In line with Industry Good Practice and in common with other defence and civil
nuclear sites, His Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde has a well-established system for raising
NSERs.</p><p> </p><p>NSERs are raised to foster a robust safety culture that learns
from experience, whether that is equipment failures, human error, procedural failings,
documentation shortcoming or near-misses.</p><p> </p><p>The safety significance of
all reported events remains low and are below Level 1, the lowest of the seven-point
Internal Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES).</p><p> </p><p>None of the events
caused harm to the health of any member of staff on the Naval Base or to any member
of the public or have resulted in any radiological impact to the environment.</p><p>
