HL Landscapes Pty Ltd QA Plan V1 February 2019 15

4.5 Nonconformance/Corrective Action

Types During the operations of HL Landscapes, non-conformance may occur in two separate areas. The first is a system or procedural non-conformance examples of which include:

A failure to implement the management system procedure itself; or

Where the failure to implement or to follow the management system procedure or associated work method leads to a more serious non-conformance e.g. failure to apply appropriate quality risk analysis and develop and follow a work instruction or technical procedure, failure to apply appropriate safety risk analysis and follow a safe work method or the failure to apply appropriate environmental risk analysis and implement appropriate environmental safeguards.

In respect of quality such system non-conformances may lead to a product non-conformance which is detected at a planned verification point when work is checked against defined acceptance criteria. Thus a product non-conformance is generally detected through inspection and testing of either work in progress or on completion. Examples of product non-conformances are the failure of work to pass specification requirements at various test points or the detection of defects in work as it is performed or when completed. Recording and/or Reporting Non-conformances can generally be recorded and reported using Form QF3 Non-conformance Report, which allows for the reporting of most system non-conformances and all product non-conformances in respect of the failure of work product to pass specified testing and inspection. A non conformance/corrective action register (QF4) will be maintained for each project. Examples of instances where a Non Conformance Report may be raised are:

Non conforming purchased product or customer property;

Damage to preserved or stored product or other subcontractors work;

Non conforming product ie. Not supplied out as per approved samples, specification, drawings etc ;

Non conforming work ie. Not carried out as per specification & drawings, poor workmanship as identified by company workers;

Changes required to the company system to prevent a re-occurrence of non conformance, to address client/customer concerns or as a results of external audits.

To action issues identified during site walks, internal inspections and audits;

To action issues raised by external audits and inspections.

Damaged products to be identified “not to be used” and stored away form the work area.

Page 16: QA Plan - Home - HL Landscapes

HL Landscapes Pty Ltd QA Plan V1 February 2019 16

Non-conforming materials and/or substances must be isolated and appropriately disposed of; (Records of disposal of hazardous substances must be retained and filed in accordance with PMP file list).

Where required by the contract a copy of the non-conformance report is to be submitted to the client in the time specified for concurrence to the proposed disposition. Disposition (Fix Action) & Corrective Action Review, Resolve, Record & Approve The complete resolution of each non-conformance involves the review and approval of both its disposition (fix action) and its corrective action. In respect of system or procedural non-conformance this involves either a straight direction to conform with existing procedural practice or in some cases a deeper review as to why proper practice is not being followed ie; is this because of deficiencies in the system itself e.g. lack of training. HL Landscapes may engage suitably qualified external consultants for advise and further analysis if required. In respect of product nonconformance the fix action is usually one of the rework, repair, regrade for alternative use, reject or use as is whereas the corrective action can again be an investigation as to the suitability of procedures or work methods adopted in performing the work or as to the understanding and training of those performing the work. The appropriate fix and corrective actions are reported on the relevant forms and within the project corrective actions register. Verification on Close On completion of the fix and corrective actions, the Construction Manager is to arrange for a verification inspection or audit to be conducted. When the Construction Manager is satisfied that the approved fix and corrective actions have been completed and verified then the nonconformance can be regarded as closed. (Update NCR report and CA register) Preventive Action Whereas a corrective action is to stop the cause of a nonconformance i.e. stop it repeating, a preventive action is taken to prevent non-conformances from occurring by recognising and eliminating potential causes. The potential causes of nonconformance can be recognised by:

Observations and inspections;

Worker suggestions;

Client input; or

Analysis of previous non-conformances.

Page 17: QA Plan - Home - HL Landscapes

HL Landscapes Pty Ltd QA Plan V1 February 2019 17

As with fix and corrective actions, preventive action should be reported on as required by the appropriate procedure included in subsections of these procedures e.g. the application of risk analysis is one appropriate approach to identifying potential causes of non-conformances. Likewise when appropriate action has been verified, then the implementation of the preventative action can be considered closed. The Construction Manager is to update the appropriate records electronically and/or by signing and dating the hard copy record. Preventive actions are to be included in the project risk register and corrective action register as appropriate. The Non Conformance & Corrective Actions register is to be tabled at the monthly management meetings. In addition, effectiveness of corrective actions is to be reviewed during site walks and site inspections. Notices issued by external parties are to be forwarded immediately to the Construction Manager. Defect List

The Construction Manager shall develop and maintain a site Defect List/Register, sorted by trade/applicable subcontractor, which will be distributed to the relevant subcontractors as required. Subcontractors will be responsible for actioning each item on the Defects List. Once completed the subcontractor is to sign off the Defects List. The Construction Manager is responsible for verifying/closing off (sign off) the Defects List. The Defects List shall be made available to the client on request. It will be subject to review during scheduled subcontractor meetings and monthly management meetings. Client Defect List

Client Defects Lists will be reviewed by the Construction Manager. Any disagreements will be brought to the clients notice in writing. Any defects acknowledged by HL Landscapes will be added to the company Defects List for actioning and closure. Once all defects have been closed off, a copy of the completed Defects Lists will be forwarded to the client for verification/sign off. Forms

5.0 Management Review & Improvement 5.1 QA Management System Review

The QA Plan shall be reviewed by senior management at least annually for suitability, effectiveness and as an opportunity for improvement.

Minutes of the QA Plan Review meeting shall be maintained which shall summarise the review outcomes for each agenda item and identify those who are responsible to undertake the action required. 5.2 QA Audits

Audits The following guidelines are to be undertaken with respect to auditing: 1. Scope of audits shall include:

QA Plan – Management level audit, refer to Form 29. 2. Frequency shall be considered when scheduling audits as follows:

QA Plan audits; for each area/site being audited sub-audits may be conducted more frequently based on risk, i.e. activity is new or recently changed, a number of non conformances raised in the previous audit.

Results of past audits (e.g. poorly performing areas to be audited more frequently) 3. Auditor Selection

HL Landscapes shall select auditors based on their independence (as reasonably practical), skill and competency in the area/site being audited. This function will be outsourced.

4. Methodology

Establish the audit scope

Identify the auditees

Review the past audit findings & previously issued PIN/SINs and incident reports

Obtain evidence that the required QA practices are being implemented. - Objective evidence is generally records of the event – e.g. test results records, training

records, licenses, etc - Observe tasks being conducted and verify them against the relevant QA Plan.

Record observations that indicate the level of compliance.

5. Non-conformances/Corrective Action – Review of register.
