Safety Remediation Progress
30 Apr 2023REMEDIATION PROGRESS ON INITIAL FINDINGS (As of May 2024)
- Out of 1779 covered factories, 576 received Letter of Recognition (LOR) for 100% completion of Initial findings).
- Complete remediation of CAP items by the factories (100% completion) is often slow because of the initial fire safety items (Fire Alarm and Detection System-FADS & Suppression System-SUPS) which is a challenge for the factories.
- To address this challenge, RSC updated the T&CVI process that includes a logical sequence of activities with the allocation of responsibilities at each stage.

PROGRESS WITH REMEDIATION OF INITIAL FINDINGS
Progress with remediation is recorded following the three stages as mentioned below:
- In progress: This is the default status for an inspection finding. It means that remediation of the inspection finding is underway.
- Pending verification: The “Pending Verification” status refers to a process where a factory reports to RSC that the finding(s) is/are corrected but requires the RSC engineers’ verification through an inspection.
- Corrected: The finding has been verified as ‘corrected’ by the RSC engineers through the follow-up verification inspection and/or testing visits.
The following graph shows the 742 factories that have recorded 100% of initial findings completed (including Pending verification). Out of these factories, 576 have received the Letter of Recognition (LoRs) as shown in Figure 4.

Remediation Status of Fire Alarm and Detection Systems (As of May 2024)
Figure 6 below demonstrates progress over the past 8 months with the three main stages for full testing and approvals of Fire Detection and Alarm Systems (FADS):

Remediation Status of Fire Suppression Systems (As of May 2024)
Figure 7 below demonstrates progress over the past 8 months with the three main stages for full testing and approvals of Fire Suppression Systems (SUPS):

Remediation Status of Structural Items: Detailed Engineering Assessment-(D) EA: (As of May 2024)
- Number of factories having accepted (D)EA: 1251.
- Number of factories that completed the structural remediation: 822.
The chart demonstrates the number of accepted (D)EAs, where there is a significant difference between desktop approval and the works on-site verified by RSC.

MONTHLY UPDATE ON THE BOILER SAFETY PROGRAMME
As boiler safety is an integral part of the RSC’s mandate, we are currently conducting safety assessments of the boilers at our covered factories. In May 2024, we conducted different types of boiler safety inspections at the factories. The following figure represents the data of our boiler safety inspections conducted in May.
