Managing Overdue Inspections

What this topic covers

Why overdue status needs risk review rather than a simple red dashboard count.

Core ideas

An overdue inspection means a planned activity has passed its due date; the risk significance depends on the asset and degradation mechanism.

Extensions should use defined governance and documented technical justification where permitted.

Repeated overdue work may reveal access, staffing, planning or data-quality problems.

Program tradeoffs

Overdue findings and inspections should be evaluated by significance and governed escalation rather than hidden in averages.

What good evidence looks like

Assurance verifies traceability from risk and inspection through decision, work execution and closure.

Lifecycle perspective

Competence, change management and data governance are core parts of technical integrity.
