Recommendation Overdue
NW
Not Witnessed
Close-out Meeting
The inspector shall discuss the inspection findings and agree close-out dates for all Recommendations at the
conclusion of the inspection visit.
High Priority Recommendations
These are Recommendations concerning fundamental QC, operational or safety issues which need to be
addressed at the earliest possible opportunity.
Recommendations Open/Overdue
These are Recommendations shown in the previous JIG International Inspection Report which remain open and
have not been closed out by the agreed date or, in the opinion of the Inspector, have not been satisfactorily
addressed. They should be identified on page A-2 with a comment on the status of implementation.
The Summary Page
Page A-1 should be used to give an overall assessment of the facility. Inspectors should:
-
highlight any significant areas of concern
state how many Overdue Recommendations there are
identify any Overdue High Priority Recommendations
assess the overall operation as being good, satisfactory, or less than satisfactory in accordance
with the following descriptions:
Good:
Used when the location is above average. There are no recommendations overdue from the previous international inspection
report that are within the control of the facility management, no new High Priority Recommendations and less than 10 new
recommendations within the control of the facility management, mostly of a minor nature, in the current report.
Satisfactory:
The previous international inspection report recommendations have been implemented and there are no High Priority
Recommendations overdue that are within the control of the facility management. There are no systematic QC or safety
issues.
Less than Satisfactory:
This description is used when the operation is showing signs of systematic failure to meet QC or safety requirements.
Equipment may be serviceable, but the majority of the previous international inspection report recommendations have not
been satisfactorily addressed and staff attitudes suggest that the operation is more likely to deteriorate than to improve.
Excellence Certificates
Where an inspector judges a location ranked as Good to have exceptional performance as detailed below, it is possible to
nominate an award of excellence. This applies only to locations with a very high standard of operation. There are no
recommendations overdue from the previous international inspection report that are within the control of the facility
management and there are only a few new recommendations of a minor nature in the current report. Staff are well trained
and motivated, records are complete and up to date and equipment is maintained in “as new” condition.
