Inspection
To conduct effective workplace safety and health inspections, it is crucial to prepare adequately by reviewing the inspection history and relevant industry information. This includes checking the employer's past inspection records and understanding typical hazards associated with the industry [1]. During the inspection, compliance officers should present their credentials, explain the purpose and scope of the inspection, and ensure employee participation where applicable [2]. Inspections can be comprehensive or partial, depending on the circumstances and findings during the inspection process [3]. It is also important to document all findings and ensure that any identified hazards are addressed promptly [4].
Important Safety Note:
Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
