Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
The inspector identified a number of examples of the dutyholder meeting relevant good practice in reducing risk to levels that are ALARP, including suitable IRR17 registration as well as radiation protection training. In addition the inspector sampled a number of the dutyholder’s procedures and arrangements which covered aspects of transport to determine if the dutyholder is compliant with CDG09.
The inspector identified three areas of non-compliance (radiation risk assessment, emergency arrangements, and local rules); a regulatory issue was raised to monitor improvements in these areas. This was discussed during the inspection.
Conclusion
The inspection findings were presented to Ceva Logistics Ltd at the close of the inspection.
I judged an overall inspection rating of green was appropriate for this inspection, as the legal duties were complied with, although there were minor contraventions of specific administrative requirements.
Ceva Logistics Ltd is required to provide to ONR either evidence that the identified non-compliances have been resolved, or an appropriate resolution plan with timescales for completion, by the 24 April 2026. These non-compliances will be tracked to completion via a Level 4 Regulatory Issue.
