Mr Matt Tuck, Managing Director of Matom Ltd, has been appointed to represent both the Society for Radiological Protection (SRP) and the Continuity Forum at the British Standards Institute (BSI) as part of the Societal Security Management Committee (SSM/1).
Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee, this committee is responsible for being the focal point for the development of standards for societal security in the UK and to monitor and mirror the work of ISO TC 223 - Societal Security, and CEN/BT WG 161- Protection and Security of the Citizen, and other appropriate relevant national and international bodies.
Matt will be contributing to work commencing on the CEN standard for CBRN - Education, Testing and Exercising that will reach across all European Countries (EU). This project has been initiated by the CATCH consortium, short for CBRN Advanced Training Curriculum The Hague. The CATCH project intends to develop certified training for the European market that will address all requirements and aims at meeting the demand for specifications for the education, training and exercising of first responders to CBRN incidents.
Mr Tuck has 23 years experience in radiological protection in the nuclear industry and hazmat fields. He has been involved in operations, technical support, consultancy, and management for a number of international companies before joining Matom as Managing Director.
Russell Price, Chairman of the Continuity Forum, comments "it is vital that we constantly update the expertise and skills within Standards Committees cross the BSI and ISO to esure the resulting work is effective."
"We are delighted that Matt is joining SSM/1 adding his considerable expertise to the CBRN Exercise, Training and Testing project underway at CEN. I am sure both the UK and European Committees will benefit considerably from his extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with the complexities and challenges faced in the CBRN arena."
