4.0 QUALITY MANAGEMENT
At this time there is no formal Quality Management nominee in place and this function
requires addressing. The function itself is required to audit the Team's processes and
procedures in order to ensure that the documents that the team are using to work to
are up to date and authorised.
The quality function is also tasked with ensuring that all items purchased for the team
are of acceptable quality when delivered and Fit for Purpose. Quality function also
audits the annual reports from the various Team officers prior to the AGM to ensure
that all aspects have been reported in a satisfactory manner with due rigour.
5.0 PERSONNEL
Personnel is a loosely organised function at present, however in order to discharge
the obligation that the 2008 act referring to Corporate Manslaughter (in England &
Wales, Corporate Homicide in Scotland) the training, qualifications, experience and
competence of all individuals within the team must be recorded, baselined and
archived.
The roles within the team must be defined together with the attributes required to fulfil
these roles, especially when allied to the practical aspects of crewing a rescue boat at
a race meeting. Other roles include the training of others than the Osprey Team
members including powerboat drivers and other rescue teams' members.
6.0 SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Osprey Powerboat Rescue Team Limited is required to provide a management system
for control of safety in the design, development, support and disposal of products and
services. The means of achievement will vary but the effectiveness must be consistent
with the following policy and requirements.
Safety Management is now regarded as an essential part of any organisation and must
be planned as a forward looking function, i.e. pro-active and not reactive. These
adoption of a Safety Management System has shown that the Osprey Team have
planned for the future and to be compliant with the legislative requirements placed on
UK companies.
Implementation of the Product Safety Policy within Osprey is achieved by placing
requirements upon the Business Director to establish organisational and procedural
elements that fulfil this Product Safety Policy within Surface Fleet Solutions.
