Appendix 24 – CF#5 Report Template
Assessment Title / ISM Core Function #5 (Feedback and Continuous Improvement) Independent Assessment (Cycle I)Date / February 8, 2008 / Assessment # / IA-2008-07
(obtained from QA/CI)
Purpose & Scope:
The purpose of this assessment was to evaluate the effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement for Core Function #5 – Feedback and Continuous Improvement - of the Integrated Safety Management System. The expectations for criteria to be evaluated and activities to be conducted to perform the evaluation for this assessment are summarized below.
Inspection Criteria:
- Line management has effectively developed and implemented a feedback and improvement process at the work activity level.
- Interview facility managers, project managers, and facility organizations, workers, ES&H or other appropriate personnel.
- Review work planning and control processes and procedures, work packages, and assessment/oversight/feedback activity documentation. Interview personnel including project personnel, subject matter experts, managers, work control managers, foremen, supervisors, environment, safety, and health support personnel, and operations/technician personnel.
- Observe work, including pre- and post-activity briefs and reviews. Review evidence of feedback and improvement such as post job reviews and other correspondence used to elicit feedback and improve performance.
The following personnel participated in the assessment
Summary of Assessment:
Provide a narrative summary of areas assessed. Description is to include adequate details to enable an independent reviewer to comprehend the depth and breadth of the assessment. Details to include key elements of the assessed activity or process and the status of their acceptability. When applicable, define the status of implementation of actions related to previous issues relevant to the assessed area.
Results:
Define the issues (findings, observations, noteworthy practices) identified during the assessment. All findings require corrective action to eliminate the non-conformance. Cognizant management will decide whether or not to pursue corrective actions for observations. Issues with corrective actions should be documented on a Corrective Action Form (Attachment D) and entered into CATS; the CATS identification number should be included in the report. Identify the status of each issue (open, pending or closed), issue owner, and estimated completion of required corrective and/or preventive actions. Clearly state all required follow-up actions with due dates and owners.
