Auditor Summary:
-
I arrived at site at 8.15 to be greeted by Rolandas Zvironas. RZ fully inducted me and explained Ericssons rules to me as well as showing me his CPHSP and RAMS. He also showed me his scope of works for today which was to fit a cabinet base on the roof of a block of flats. There was some confusion on the CRQ number he required to shut the site down so while we were waiting I inspected all his relevant certs, first aid kit and Narda at ground level. Eventually the correct CRQ came through so I accompanied RZ up to the rooftop where he would conduct his on site DRA but on arrival we realised he needed a key from the SP to gain access. He made some phone calls then had to leave to collect the key. Before he went I thoroughly inspected his harness and lanyard as access was via a 3m CAT ladder. RZ is from Lithuania with good English skills and showed a great attitude throughout the audit process
