Requirement

The UoC shall annually review the management system and revise it where necessary to ensure its continued suitability, adequacy and effectiveness in implementing the ASC Requirements.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • The UoC’s management system review should provide the opportunity to assess its suitability, adequacy and effectiveness in continuously ensuring conformance with the ASC requirements.

  • The review should consider:

    • Progress and effectiveness of changes implemented following the previous management review.

    • Financial and personnel resources necessary to maintain the management system.

    • Changes in the internal and external context of the site which may give rise to previously unanticipated issues.

    • Performance review since the previous management review.

    • Internal and external audit outcomes.

    • Grievances raised.

    • Progress towards longer-term ASC targets, e.g. an increase in wage payments.

    • Progress towards site commitments.

    • A mechanism for employees’ feedback on the effectiveness of the management system

    • The outcome of the review should include addressing any need for changes and opportunities for improvement in the management system, which is documented and communicated to relevant employees for implementation.
