The engagement
What the work
can involve.
We tailor the scope to the decision you need to make, the available information and the project stage.
- 01
Agree the applicable framework, edition, facility boundary and assessment criteria before reviewing evidence.
- 02
Build an evidence register linking each assessed requirement to documents, interviews, site observations and unresolved gaps.
- 03
Review governance, design, construction, operation, surveillance, emergency preparedness and closure evidence within the agreed scope.
- 04
Develop prioritised actions with owners, target dates and a clear basis for verifying closure.
Agreeing responsibilities
An internal gap assessment is not regulatory approval or independent certification. Independence, assessor competence and any formal assurance role are agreed in writing.
The output
Defined work.
Useful deliverables.
- Assessment scope and criteria register
- Evidence matrix and documented findings
- Prioritised gap and action register
- Management discussion and close-out support
What to bring to the first discussion
Applicable approvals and commitments, facility classification, previous assessments, design and operating records and governance responsibilities.
You can start with an outline of the information you have. We will agree the document list and transfer method before you send confidential material.
Working together
A scope you can review.
The proposal identifies tasks, deliverables, inputs, dependencies, exclusions and pricing. Open questions remain visible so the next decision is informed.
