OVERSIGHT PLANNING CYCLE

(a) The competent authority should schedule audits and inspections appropriate to each GH organisation.

Inspectors should work in accordance with the schedule provided to the GH organisation.

(b) When the competent authority varies the frequency of audits or inspections as a result of its assessment of the GH organisation’s safety performance, it should ensure that all aspects of the GH organisation’s operation are audited and inspected within the applicable oversight planning cycle.

(c) If the competent authority wishes to align the oversight planning cycle with the calendar year, it should shorten the first oversight planning cycle accordingly.

(d) The oversight planning cycle and the related oversight programme should be reviewed annually.

(e) Audits should include at least one on-site audit of the GH organisation within each oversight planning cycle.
