UXO Reporting & Certification
Clear Reporting, Sign-Off & Certification of UXO Risk Management
RMS UXO provides comprehensive project reporting, final reporting, sign-off and ALARP certification to document how UXO risk has been assessed and managed throughout a project.
What is UXO Reporting & Certification
Following completion of UXO investigation or mitigation works, clear and accurate reporting provides a permanent record of the activities undertaken, the results achieved and any residual UXO risk.
Our reports provide clients with the documentation they need to demonstrate that the identified UXO risk has been appropriately managed in accordance with the project requirements and the ALARP principle.
Why It Matters
Completing UXO mitigation works is only part of the risk management process. It is also important to document what has been undertaken and the outcome of those works. A comprehensive final report can help provide:
A clear record of completed works
A clear record of completed UXO works and confirmation of the areas investigated or treated.
Evidence of mitigation
Evidence of the mitigation measures implemented and details of the results and outcomes.
Residual risk and QA/QC
A record of any residual risk, along with QA/QC documentation.
ALARP evidence and sign-off
Evidence supporting ALARP and appropriate project sign-off and certification.

RMS UXO Expertise
Why Choose RMS UXO?
RMS UXO combines UXO risk assessment, geophysical, EOD and risk mitigation expertise to provide reporting that reflects the work actually undertaken on your project.
Our reporting brings together the relevant information from the UXO risk management process, providing a clear record of the works, results, mitigation measures and residual risk, and appropriate evidence for project records and sign-off.
ALARP Certification
Following successful completion of the required mitigation measures, RMS UXO can provide ALARP certification as part of the project's reporting and certification process. The certification provides evidence that the identified UXO risk has been managed in accordance with the ALARP principle – As Low As Reasonably Practicable.
RMS UXO certified reports provide a consolidated record of the mitigation works undertaken, areas covered, investigation and survey results, target outcomes, QA/QC confirmation, residual risk, final conclusions and sign-off. This documentation can be retained as part of the project's wider health, safety, environmental and construction records.
Every project is different, so RMS UXO tailors reporting to reflect the scope of the project, the mitigation measures implemented and the results achieved, rather than providing a generic report.
UXO Reporting & Certification FAQs
What is UXO Reporting?
UXO reporting documents the assessment, investigation and mitigation works undertaken on a project, including the results, geographical boundaries, mitigation measures and residual risk.
What is an ALARP Certificate?
An ALARP certificate provides evidence following successful mitigation that the identified UXO risk has been managed in accordance with the As Low As Reasonably Practicable principle.
What does a UXO final report include?
Depending on the project, a final report can include details of the works undertaken, geographical boundaries, results, mitigation actions, QA/QC confirmation, outcomes and residual risk.
Why is final UXO reporting important?
Final reporting provides a permanent record of the UXO works undertaken and the resulting outcomes. It can also provide evidence that appropriate mitigation measures have been implemented.
Does RMS UXO provide project sign-off?
Yes. RMS UXO can provide project reporting, final reporting and appropriate sign-off following completion of UXO works.
Does certification mean the site is completely free from UXO?
Certification should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a site is completely free from UXO. Rather, it documents the assessment and mitigation measures undertaken and the resulting management of the identified risk.
