The assessment
South 32 had expressed a desire to move away from certification and opted for compliance assessment.
In late February the AWI audit team applied the compliance assessment to AS/NZS ISO 3834 part 2 at the company’s Collie operations.
The site’s responsible welding coordinators, with the support of site management, had developed a comprehensive welding management system over a number of years.
The traceability of the essential documentation throughout the assessment was exceptional and the team have set an excellent example of what a weld management system should comprise of, with ease of accessibility and abundance of detail.
The site uses a range of subcontractors on site and off site, and part of the welding coordinator’s role is managing all of them across the fabrication, welding and pipe spooling scope.
AWI congratulate the South32 team for achieving Compliance.
