SAFETYFORM SITE SAFETY INSPECTION SCORING GUIDE

The following sets out the scoring criteria that will be used on all Lidl site inspections.

  • COMPLIANT - A category will be scored as "Compliant" where the contractor can demonstrate they are fully compliant with the requirements of relevant applicable legislation, guidance and/or industry best practice.
    A score of 5 is awarded for a Compliant score.

  • OPPORTUNITIES - A category will be scored as "Opportunities" where the contractor cannot demonstrate they are fully compliant with the requirements of relevant applicable legislation, guidance and/or industry best practice, but the breach is such that it would not attract a Prohibition Notice, but could attract a Fee For Intervention (FFI).
