Recertification
SV1
SV2
Strength Point:
- A remarkable integrated management system to health, safety and environment is applied. - Awareness and top management commitment has been increased and noticed by the auditor through site tour and interview with staff members. - Safety signs and instructions are well maintained and distributed in the whole company and work areas. - Separated work area zones with a layout and escape routes with emergency exits were notified through site tour.
Audit Objectives:
The purpose of the recertification audit is to verify that: - To confirm continued conformity with the requirements of the standard (e.g. ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001). - To evaluate the effectiveness of the management system in achieving policies, objectives and performance targets. - To verify continual improvement and how the organization deals with risks, opportunities, nonconformities and corrective actions. - To review changes in scope, context, processes, products, legal requirements etc. and how the system has adapted. - To provide a basis for the decision to renew the certificate for a further certification cycle.
Area for Improvement:
-planning and providing resources to enhance more secured storing areas and stores. -completion of PPE's for 100% of personnel involved in working areas.
Observation:
Quality-perspective observations: the available storage areas/stores are crowded. Some of delicate and expensive equipment are stored in ordinary rooms that lack necessary preparations for stores such as fire alarm/firefighting/lightning protection Equipment/ devices that are dismantled from customer property needs to be classified/segregated and safeguarded from other tools equipment that are used in production and/or service provision. HSE-perspective observations: - The welding and cutting cylinders inside workshops missing non return valves to be installed on flexible hoses to prevent back fire to cylinders. - Overhead crane inside ship repair workshop has two different labeled SWL which is conflict to operator to determine the accurate SWL for overhead crane. - Electrical panels need preventive method of preventing fire inside them such as (fire search). - All the fire extinguishers need to be labeled and to apply inspection check list. - All the cylinders on trollies need to be tightened and chained to prevent slipping from trolly. - No designated smoking area on sites which make an issue for workers as they smoke during performing their jobs. - The hazardous materials yard needs to be separated, classified and blocked from direct sunbeam. - The workers working on heights such as scaffolds need additional control measures such as (safety harnesses) to prevent them from falling. - some temporary workers were not aware of applicable safety and behavioral requirements.
