Challenges you may be facing

Accountability for safety within an organisation resides with the Accountable Manager/Duty Holder and your approval remains valid as long as you remain compliant with the requirements that pertain to it. Evidence of significant non-compliance will mean that your Regulatory Authority has the right to suspend, limit or revoke your approval.

  • You’ve received a Level 1 or multiple Level 2 findings from your Regulatory Authority as a result of significant non-compliance with the regulations
  • You do not fully understand how to find the root cause(s) of your non-compliance
  • You need to define, write and implement a corrective action plan and/or instigate an organisation-wide approval recovery programme
  • You need to demonstrate to your regulator that you are taking appropriate corrective action – addressing the effects of non-compliance as well as the root cause(s)
  • You need help understanding and keeping up-to-date with the regulations as well as knowing how they affect your organisation
  • You need to engage with your Regulatory Authority to minimise ‘damage’ to the organisation
