Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
The inspectors identified a number of examples of the dutyholder meeting relevant good practice in reducing risk to levels that are ALARP, including, suitable IRR17 registration and radiation protection programme. In addition, the dutyholder had a comprehensive set of procedures and arrangements covering all aspects of transport to be compliant with CDG09.
The inspectors identified one area of non-compliance, that being the radiation risk assessment. This was discussed during the inspection.
Conclusion
The inspection findings were presented to Construction Testing Solutions Limited at the close of the inspection.
We judged an overall inspection rating of green was appropriate for this inspection as relevant good practice was generally met, with only minor shortfalls identified, when compared with appropriate benchmarks.
Construction Testing Solutions Limited is required to provide to ONR either with evidence that the identified non-compliance have been resolved, or an appropriate resolution plan with timescales for completion, by the 30 May 2025. The non-compliance will be tracked to completion via a Level 4 Regulatory Issue.
