Level 3 findings shown in Figure 13 below relate tomore serious matters of concern. Therefore, as might be expected,
such findings are relatively rare and the number of Level 3 findings per installation is so small that the total number
across all participating installations is monitored and reported.
Since the introduction of the scheme in 2008 the industry has consistently reduced the number of Level 3 findings.
Despite a slight upward movement in Level 3 findings over the course of 2013, overall improvement of 80 per cent
over the whole monitoring period can be seen in the chart. Remedial and improvement actions to close out findings
are of course managed at duty holder rather than industry level.
