Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made

The inspector identified through questioning of the duty holder, and the comprehensive paperwork they provided that this duty holder only rarely receives and consigns class 7 excepted packages. The package movements comply with the duties created by CDG'09, and ADR.

Conclusion

I am of the opinion that the university currently has effective processes and procedures in place to manage the receipt and dispatch of class seven dangerous goods. I also believe that they have processes in place for managing incidents where they have a legal responsibility regarding transport.

I am of the opinion that the university presents a low risk for transport activities, and unless circumstances change or there is an incident do not require a compliance inspection for for 7 years.
