ARCA Full Contracting Members can sign-up for the 'Member Internal Site Audit App', so their internal site audits use the same question set as the ARCA audit. Enabling direct comparisons of external and internal audit results, providing a strong management tool.
The App is a web and remote device based application enabling auditors to audit using a number of handheld platforms: Apple iOS (iPhones/iPads), most Android (phones/tablets), Kindle Fire and Windows tablets.
The App is user friendly, incorporates guidance with each audit question, can be used on sites even with no internet connection and generates reports which include the photographs taken on the device used. Also, management is enhanced as results, from all audits, can be displayed graphically to assist analysis.
The App, scores member internal audits automatically, so improving the analysis of performance across all internal and ARCA audits.
The App identifies and collates any non-conformities within the audit report and presents the information within a separate Corrective Action Report. This is made available to the member immediately after the internal audit is completed, enabling actions to be rectified without delay. New Developments To further support members' ARCA has made further developments to the Member Internal Audit App and revised the pricing structure from 1st July 2020: The App has recently been updated in line with the latest ARCA Site Audit Accreditation Scheme audit form, which includes the provision to include additional comments for each audit item. The new ‘Contract Manager Site Observation Audit’, available from 1st July 2020, provides a form enabling managers to quickly and easily record their site findings when visiting their projects. The managers’ site observations can be reported more formally, following a consistent approach to a full ARCA audit, so supporting member contractors’ audit programmes. From the 1st July there is a revised pricing structure - a 50% price reduction per user once there are more than five registered users. Full pricing information is available here Non-licensed asbestos work - a new audit form now enables observations and actions to be recorded for non-licensed work, such as the removal of textured coatings, floor tiles and asbestos cement roofing sheets. This provides a useful tool to demonstrate compliance with the CAR 2012 regulations, as well as general duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. For asbestos removal contractors to run an effective audit programme it is good practice to undertake both internal and external audits. However, often these two elements can differ in what is audited, limiting the scope of analysing the audit results collectively. ARCA's Member Internal Audit App supports a consistent approach. "ARCA carries out very thorough audits, so having the same criteria available for our own internal audits, has definitely supported our performance. Now these new developments mean that key information of our performance on-site can be immediately available to our managers. A real benefit when managing health and safety on-site." Chris Dobson, Health, Safety and Quality Manager for Thompsons of Prudhoe. "Key to any audit programme is consistency, so being able to use the same questions and have the same report format, as ARCA audits, has been a huge benefit to us. Now the ARCA Member App scores audits and produces a corrective action report, means that our managers can immediately, and clearly, see how we have performed on-site." Les Kelly, Senior Contracts Manager for Solent Environmental Services (Asbestos) Ltd.
