CORRECTIVE/PREVENTIVE ACTION FOLLOW-UP

The provider’s management should be responsible for determining and initiating corrective/preventive actions, primarily needed to eliminate possible causes and to prevent recurrence of similar non-conformities in the future and secondarily to correct the found  non-conformity or discrepancy, or make a safety case for a variation to the requirements..
The provider’s management should be required to submit a plan, including a schedule for corrective/preventive actions within a time-frame specified by the Authority.
This plan should, if satisfactory, be approved by, and follow-up should be monitored by the Authority. If the plan is not satisfactory, the Authority may be required to specify changes to it.
If, during the inspection, there is found a nonconformity which has a direct and negative influence on safety, the lead inspector should, according to laid down policy or in consultation with his superior, order immediate corrective or temporary actions.

COMPETENCE OF PERSONNEL

1. General :
It is assumed that personnel employed by the Authority have general basic and professional education. The following paragraphs only focus on additional competence in relation to inspecting and the Authority’s responsibility to maintain and if possible improve the competence of its personnel.

2. Training
Inspector candidates should have undergone training to the extent necessary to ensure their competence in the skills required for carrying out inspections, and lead inspectors also for managing inspections. Training in the following areas should be regarded as particularly relevant:
a) Knowledge and understanding of the standards against which inspections may be performed.
b) Assessment techniques of examining, questioning, evaluating and reporting.
c) Additional leadership skills required for managing an inspection, such as planning organising, communicating and directing.

d) Knowledge of hazard identification and risk analysis. e) Knowledge of safety and quality management systems.
Such competency should be demonstrated through written or oral examinations, or other acceptable means.

3. Experience
Inspector candidates should have some full-time appropriate practical workplace experience (not including training), preferably some of which should have been in auditing activities.
Prior to assuming responsibility for performing inspections as an inspector, the candidates should have gained experience in the entire inspection process as described above. This experience should have been gained by participating in a minimum of three inspections, for a total of at least 15 days, including proper preparation, documentation review, actual inspection activities and inspection reporting.
Lead inspector candidates should have acted as qualified inspectors in at least three complete inspections performed in accordance with the recommendations in this manual before being evaluated for lead inspec-tor duties.
