New training courses at Kozloduy aim to improve management and supervisory skills and safety culture

During a working session held October 31 through November 5 at Kozloduy NPP, a training specialist from the U.S. firm Human Performance Analysis Corporation presented an expanded version of the previously developed Management and Supervisory Skills course to 15 Kozloduy management staff members. The expanded version included a new module on leadership skills. The U.S. specialist also continued modifications to the previously developed Safety Culture course to incorporate information collected from a survey on the safety culture at Kozloduy NPP. The new training courses are part of the U.S. team's cooperative work to improve training methodology and expertise at the Kozloduy plant.
