5.1.1 The Site Quality Manager should verify all Subcontractors with
construction responsibilities that include NDE of important-to-safety
structures, systems or components (SSCs) have approved implementing
procedures describing administrative controls and work processes
implementing the design, project specifications, procedures including
this procedure, construction execution plans and inspection & test plans.
5.1.2 The Site Quality Manager should verify procedures provided for quality
control (QC) inspection to ensure important-to-safety aspects of NDE
are verified and documented. As part of the assessment of the QC
inspection procedures, ensure that the procedures included or
references have appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance
criteria for determining the prescribed activities had been accomplished
satisfactorily.
5.1.3 The Site Quality Manager should verify that the Subcontractor has
established the procedures for ensuring test and QC inspection
personnel performing NDE activities, and are qualified to perform their
assigned work.

5.1.5 Work permit for activities will be obtained as required prior to starting
work. When RT is being performed, a “Radiation Hazardous Work
Permit” will be obtained and additional radiation prevention measures
will be considered (see Section 6). The Mechanical Superintendent shall
monitor the process and the HSE Manager shall ensure it.
5.2.2 The Inspection Engineer should verify testing and QA/QC personnel
involved in the performance of NDE and inspection activities are
qualified to perform their job functions.
5.2.3 The Inspection Engineer should verify that records of NDEs are as
specified, reviewed by the Subcontractor for accuracy and assurance
given that the recorded information meets project requirements,
approved, and stored and maintained sufficient to support technical and
contract requirements.
5.3.1 There are several industry standards that provide requirements for
nondestructive testing. The code or standard used for fabrication or
welding will often invoke the code or standard used for a specific activity.
For example, ANS/ASME B 31.3-96, “Process Piping, ASME Code for
Pressure Piping,” Paragraph 344.5, specifies that radiography of welds
shall be performed in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section V, Article 2.” Therefore to ensure the correct
standard is being used for this evaluation, the Site Quality Manager shall
obtain from the Design Firm and Subcontractor the applicable codes,
standards and specifications used for design and construction.
5.3.2 For each of the inspection elements, the inspection Engineer should:

Included in Section 5.5 below are suggested sample selections. The inspection
engineer can follow the suggestions or choose samples more appropriate for the
inspection due to construction progress, completion of QA/QC reviews, or
inspector experience. The inspection engineer should use judgment in
determining sample selection, focusing on examination of the most important
aspects of the particular activity being inspected. The intent is to establish a high
level of assurance that the end product meets requirements.

5.5.2 During the field observations, the inspection engineer should carry a
copy of the sections of the procedure and industry standards pertinent to
the planned observations and verify that work is being accomplished
using specifications and procedures of the proper version.
PART TO OUTSIDE PARTIES NOR USED FOR OTHER THAN THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH PROVIDED WITHOUT PERMISSION OF MANAGEMENT.
5.5.4 During the field observations, the inspection engineer should interview
and obtain the names of a sample of the test and QC personnel
performing the observed activities to assess whether their knowledge of
the job and procedures is satisfactory. The sample size will be
determined by the number of Subcontractor personal performing the
activity, but not less than one or more than four of each discipline (test
and QC personnel). Information on these same personnel will be used
pursuant to Section below, to determine the adequacy of their
experience and training.
5.5.5 The inspection engineer should select six sample per each of the five
kind of NDE inspections used to verify the quality of welds for important-
to-safety SSCs. Observe the ongoing inspections to the extent possible;
otherwise review the appropriate documents. Select NDE inspections for
weld joints for steel structures and process piping. For each examination,
verify the applicable code requirements were incorporated. Note:
Magnetic particle examination is usually best suited to shop production
operations. There may not be any magnetic particle examination
performed at a construction site.
5.5.6 During the observation of work activities per this Section, the inspection
engineer should carry a copy of the procedures specifying the
Subcontractor's requirements for education and experience levels,
training and certification. The inspection engineer should interview four
test and four QA/QC personnel involved in the performance of
nondestructive examination activities being inspected, and record which
job they were performing. The inspection engineer should verify that the
personnel are sufficiently knowledgeable of procedure requirements.
The inspector should also review the training and qualification records
for those individuals to determine if they meet the requirements. This
activity should be repeated for each of the five nondestructive
examination types (visual, radiographic, ultrasonic, liquid penetrant, and
magnetic particle).

5.5.7 The inspection engineer should select a sample of ten (10) records that
were reviewed during conducting each of the five types of
nondestructive examinations, and the records of qualification for those
craft and QA/QC personnel selected during the monitoring of
Subcontractor performance under this Section. The inspection engineer
should verify that the records selected for examination were approved by
proper authority and were stored and maintained in such a manner to
demonstrate conformance with procedure requirements.
6.1 The use and transportation of radiation sources shall be carried out by qualified
persons and kept under strict control in accordance with government regulations.
6.2 The operation must be carried out by, or accompanied and supervised by a
person (radiographer) who is validly licensed by the Authority to use a radioactive
isotope.
6.3 Prior to performing any radiation activities on site a method statement describing
detailed procedures and plannede consignee must be submitted to the
Contractor HSE Manager for approval.
6.4 Radiation work cannot commence until the RADIATION CHECKLIST has been
satisfactorily completed and the Contractor Site Manager has issued a valid
Radiation Hazardous Work Permit.
6.5 Each radiation source shall be registered at the security gate upon entry into site.
The following information shall be recorded in the register:
6.5.3 Type and strength of the radiation source (isotope) and registration
number of the container.

6.7 Warning signs with the following wording “DANGER! RADIATION HAZARD” both
in Local Official Language(s) and English. And, the international symbol for
radiation shall be posted so as to be visible from all approaches to the barricaded

/ taped area. Approved radiation warning signs (trefoil), barriers and flashing
lights shall be deployed around the area, including any access platforms that may
be above or below the affected work location.
6.8 The Subcontractor must notify Contractor Project Site Manager and Project HSE
Manager at least 1 day prior to the commencement of Radiography work so that
relevant method statements and job safety assessments can be further reviewed.
The NDE Subcontractors’ Emergency Procedures for radiation work, including
telephone and pager contact numbers of key personnel, must be posted at the
work site with copies handed over to the Contractor Project Site Manager and
Project HSE Manager.
6.9 All workers inside the cordoned area must wear their personal dosimeters and
results of measurements are to be auditable.
6.10 During exposure, the radiation levels shall be continuously monitored by the NDE
Subcontractor at the outer limits of the cordoned off area and ensure that
radiation levels are within the acceptable limits of less than 0.75 mR per hour. In
the event of excess radiation levels being detected the cordons and barriers must
be moved to extend the restricted area.
6.11 On completion of the work the area must be tested and declared safe by the NDE
supervisor in charge of radiography before the cordons area restriction and
warning signs can be removed. Only when all of the work has been completed,
the area tested and warning signs/barricades removed can the Hazardous Work
Permit be signed off.
