1. A im
The aim of this procedure is to:
• define how to carry out the Internal Inspections (VII) in order to guarantee the correct application of
the reference regulations and reach the objectives set by the Top Management;
• define how to carry out the audits at the sites, setting the guidelines for checking the application of
the Safety Plan on site, by the procedures of the EHS Manual and by possible procedures of the
Customer, in order to guarantee the application of suitable safety and environmental protection
standard in the service activities ;
• describe the management methods of Non-Compliance, of Corrective and Preventive Actions and of
the improvements implemented by the Organisation.
2 . A p pl i c at i on F i e ld
This procedure is applied to all the procedures of the Management System.
As concerns the site audits, this procedure is applied to the installation/service activities carried out at the
Principal's site. Included but not limited to, it is applied to the installation, revision, maintenance, supply,
construction, commissioning of machines and/or plants inside existing factories or production units to be
built.
Moreover this procedure is applied to the management of all case of Non-Compliance, Preventive and
Corrective Actions and improvements implemented by the Organisation.
3 . O pe r a t i n g P ro c e d u re s
3.1 Non-Compliance (Finding)
The case of Non-Compliance that can be found during the service activities can be caused by:
• non-compliance with the internal requirements of the Health and Safety Management System;
• claims by the clients;
• non-compliance of materials.
The cases of Non-Compliance are managed through the ATS, or equivalent systems (e.g. Action Lists). When
a NC occurs, the EHS Referee or the EHS/SER registers it into the ATS, specifying it is a case of NC.
The NCs are managed as reported in the following paragraph.
The auditor fills the descriptive sheet of the Finding (included its root causes and the corrective action to
undertake), entering the name of the person Responsible for carrying out the corrective action and filling the
gap of the finding. .
The expiry date for the implementation is reminded to the owner by automatically generated e-mails.
The auditor ensures the real implementation of the corrective action.
The effectiveness is verified by the planning of a following audit or an analysis of metrics behind the audited
process. If the corrective action has not turned out to be effective, a new finding is opened.
On the basis of the data entered into the ATS it is possible to develop suitable metrics and check the outcome
of all the findings.
If, from the analysis of findings, process corrective actions arise, it is necessary to open a specific finding for
the process corrective action itself (ref. Finding non-regulatory).
The corrective actions aim at removing the causes of Non-Compliance. They are implemented because of:
• non-compliance with the procedures;
• lack of instruction;
• findings and/or indications of the presence of “non compliance” (NC);
• Inspections (both internal and by third parties).
The preventive actions aim at preventing the causes of Non-Compliance. They are implemented because of:
• concern report;
• goals and objectives set in the Top Management Review;
• improvement actions set during the meetings of the committees (see Procedure Employees’
Involvement).
The Corrective and Preventive Actions are managed through the Audit Tracking System (paragraph 3.1.5).
The Internal Inspections are carried out by skilled staff (“Auditors”), possessing the appropriate technical
knowledge and suitable personal characteristics.
The Auditors have to be independent from the function subject to the inspection in order to guarantee the
objectivity of the verification itself.
The Internal Inspections of SGSS are carried out by the Top Management or by skilled staff appointed by the
Top Management itself.
A copy of the planning is sent to the Field Services and Turbomachinery Site Operations Leaders for
approval. Once implemented, the activities are characterised as “carried out”, creating suitable metrics that
highlight how many planned audits have really been implemented on the planned date.
The date for audits is sent via e-mail to the involved people. The e-mails are automatically generated
through the Compliance Calendar.
Below is the window of the Compliance Calendar:
3.3.5 Auditors
The EHS Auditors, to be able to perform internal inspections, have to be qualified as follows:
• internal Lead Auditors – GE personnel with at least a biannual experience in EHS, had successfully
participated to a GE EHS Audit Skills course and a certified course for auditors under BS 18001:2007
OHSAS standard,
• internal Auditors – GE personnel with at least an annual experience in EHS and had successfully
participated to a GE EHS Audit Skills course,
• external Auditors – third party personnel certified as Lead Auditor IRCA/502 or equipollent.
The Site Manager is allowed, every time he assesses the need, to carry out his own audits at the site in order
to guarantee the implementation of appropriate safety and environmental protection standards in the
service activities, as well as the compliance with regulations and procedures applicable.
The Site Manager will carry out the inspection by using the specific checklist (ref. EHS-PG004.Str01), and
drawing up a final inspection report (EHS- PG004.Min02).
The inspection report has to include an objective analysis of the situation of the site and a following
coherent description of the identified corrective actions (precise identification of responsibilities and
maximum timing for the adjustment).
The report will be sent to the EHS Coordinator, the PM, the Technical Manager (if required), and to the Site
Managers of the Subcontracting Companies and to the Representative of the Principal. The original copy will
be kept in the site archive.
The Site Manager is allowed to use the form SCAR (EHS-PG.008.Frm03) to be forwarded to the Customer’s
Representative, in case of non-compliance or request of modification/improvement of responsibilities by the
Customer itself.
The audit outcomes concerning the Subcontracting Companies will be made known to the Site Manager of
the Subcontracting Companies during a specific meeting called by the Site Manager.
4 . A n n ua l A s se ss me n t o f t h e P ro c e d ure
The effectiveness of the procedure is assessed every year and whenever necessary.
The procedure is discussed every year at the EHS Committee meetings that analyze the points of strength
and weakness of the procedure as well as the results of the Corrective and Preventive actions, also taken in
the case of Non-conformities. The needs resulting from the assessment will be considered as the starting
point for a revision of the health and safety objectives.
The results of the annual assessment are used to update the procedure.
Any non-conformities are entered into the online system Gensuite and monitored until they are closed.
III. Scoring
Each question is weighted equally
Desirable responses are scored green (9), middle scores yellow (5) and least desirable red (1).
An overall site score will be assigned based on % of total available points
If you are using the Excel Outage Safety Plan Audit Form, the scores will be automatically calculated.
