Workplace Inspections

Effective inspections are one of the most important incident/accident prevention tools in a company’s safety and health program. Properly trained inspectors in a systematic inspection program will help reduce incidents and property damage.

Workplace inspections help prevent accidents, injuries, and illness. By critically examining your workplace, a workplace inspection can help identify hazards that need corrective action. Your health and safety committee can help to plan, conduct, and record inspections.

A regular workplace inspection is an important part of your occupational health and safety management system.

Understand how to conduct effective workplace inspections that improve worker communication and company morale and save time and money with our tools and resources.
