Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
The inspectors identified a number of examples of the dutyholder meeting relevant good practice in reducing risk to levels that are as low as reasonably practicable. This included, suitable IRR17 registration, appropriate radiation risk assessment and radiation protection programme. In addition, the dutyholder had a comprehensive set of procedures and arrangements covering all relevant aspects of transport to be compliant with CDG09.
Conclusion
The inspection findings were presented to University of Stirling at the close of the inspection.
I judged an overall inspection rating of green was appropriate for this inspection, as relevant good practice was generally met, with only minor administrative shortfalls identified, when compared with appropriate benchmarks.
