The weighting of each question is based on what the consequences will be. Each question is weighted as follows: 4 = Good = No further action required, if criteria not met 0 = Not Acceptable/high Risk to health and equipment, if criteria not met (risk is to safety, environment, equipment, $ and prosecution). RATING: Not Acceptable = High Risk, Potential for an incident occurring. Major Non-Conformance to criteria - Immediate action required Needs Improvement = Medium Risk, General non-compliance with legislation/policies/procedures. Corrective action required within 48 hours Fair = Low Risk, Substantial compliance, however room for improvement. Minor issues noted - corrective action required within 5 days Good: Satisfies legal and company requirements, no further action required. Criterion Not Applicable = 0 (4 points will be removed from the total score required)
