Specifically, we substantiated that ALMS: 1) did not have adequate emergency management plans; 2) did not have a compliant quality control plan; 3) did not know how to properly use the computerized maintenance management system program; 4) closed out work orders without completing required work; 5) did not hire qualified tradesmen; 6) did not have a safety manager; 7) had staff retention issues due to low wages; and 8) did not correct noncompliances found during the September 2020 NNSA Office of Worker Safety and Health Services site assist review. We did not substantiate the allegation that 9) ALMS was not completing forklift inspections and was falsifying inspection documents. Also, we found that the ALMS Contractor Performance Assessment Report rating was inconsistent with our findings and not completed in the required 120-day timeframe.”
