Quality
Designers and manufacturers of products should develop a Quality Design Plan (QDP) that identifies the products offered, their specification, required inputs and desired outcomes. The QDP should be implemented with an Inspection & test Plan (ITP) to ensure conformance of product.
The QDP shall address:
- Design stages – according to the Contract documents and/or Design Brief.
- Design lots.
- Design Program.
- Design checking procedure (including internal /independent review and/or verification) for each design stage (design lot register if required).
- Schedule of meetings with Client/Contractor.
- Review of the constructability of the design with the constructor.
- Safety in Design (SiD) process outlining.
- Type of SiD tool to use (CHAIR as default unless other such as HAZOP required by contract).
- Timing of workshops.
- Hold points for construction.
- Design team responsibilities, authorities & accountabilities for design.
- CAD management process.
- Drawing and document control mechanism.
The ITP shall address:
- External processes – type and extent of control
- Controlled conditions
- Control of change
- Client supplied product
- Preservation of product
- Storage, packaging, preservation & delivery
- Release of product
- Control of non-conforming product
- Completion of product or project
- Certificates of compliance or Conformance
Where required Identification and traceability of products shall be maintained in a Register
Safety
The IMS contains many forms for Compliance that shall be used where indicated and scheduled for use to ensure that Health & Safety are monitored to ensure not only the Safety of workers but also to ensure legal Compliance. The relevant forms are identified throughout the manual
Environment
Developers and contractors should identify their obligations under environmental legislation. This section specifies relevant legislation and appropriate means to achieve the required standards. Operators should examine management systems to minimise the risk of contamination of soils from raw materials and processes.
An ITP shall be developed to ensure compliance with the following:
- Waste reduction (Reduce, re-use, recycle, re-purpose).
- Air pollution
- Groundwater
- Land clearing
- Odour
- Particles & dust
- Pest control
- Surface water
- Vehicle washdown
- Minimise harm to the environment
- Reduction of emissions
- Reduction of energy usage
- Reduction of Greenhouse gases.
