Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
The inspectors identified appropriate improvements to arrangements to address identified shortfalls and prevent future carriage of Class 7 material.
Conclusion
I judge an inspection rating of green to be appropriate. The evidence provided and viewed during the inspection was adequate in demonstrating UCH Logistics Limited have implemented appropriate measures to prevent the carriage of Class 7 material.
I consulted the ONR enforcement management model to determine appropriate enforcement. Taking into consideration UCH Logistics Ltd has already implemented adequate remedial actions to address the identified non-compliances, and the ONR investigation outcome, I consider an enforcement letter is appropriate. The enforcement letter will require written response by 25 July 2025 to close out the inspection. Closure of this letter will be monitored via a Level 3 regulatory issue (RI-12462).
