There are two aspects to this. There are randomised inspections, which the Health and Safety Authority, HSA, have now stepped up, as is right and proper. Then there is mass serial testing. When the National Ambulance Service comes to a plant, it is important that its staff can carry out testing quickly. That means notice must be given. However, no concern has ever been raised about providing notice of testing. The concern was that inspections needed to be more randomised. That is beginning to happen.
