The Role of Transport at Sellafield Ltd Transport has played a huge role at Sellafield ever since it was first established at the Seascale site. Over the years, the tasks have evolved to meet with the ever-changing work scope. Transport plays a vital role in applying the waste management hierarchy on site as it supports functional processes required to ensure waste routes are adhered to safely and environmentally. It is Sellafield’s mission to continuously seek to improve and optimise the waste management, which will help deliver cost and environmental benefits, supporting the SL Enterprise strategy. The Waste and Resource strategy sets out the expectations for projects whole lifecycle, based on best practice and experience. By focusing on avoiding the waste of materials on projects, we provide an opportunity to save money and resources, and to further increase our environmental management skills and attitudes, driving a cultural change in waste management behaviours. Transport’s main job in the waste management process is to move waste materials to their next point in its waste route. This could either be within the site or removing them off site completely. They key role in this area is the Dangerous Goods Dispatching Officer (DGDO). The DGDO acts as the interface between the despatch facility and the SL Consignment Services Team, who are the Subject Matter Experts in this area.
