Regular site inspections are an essential part of maintaining a safe workplace. They ensure compliance with safety standards, identify and address hazards, and promote safe work practices. At Safety Chicks, we assist businesses in conducting thorough site inspections and training employees to perform inspections effectively.

Purpose of Site Inspections

A well-conducted inspection achieves multiple objectives:

• Identifies Hazards: Spotting existing and potential risks to workers and property.
• Ensures Compliance: Detecting safety code violations and ensuring adherence to regulations.
• Monitors Hazard Controls: Evaluating the effectiveness of existing measures to mitigate risks.
• Determines Corrective Actions: Recommending steps to minimize or eliminate hazards.
• Promotes Safe Practices: Reinforcing a culture of safety and encouraging compliance among workers.

Inspections are a proactive, fact-finding exercise, not fault-finding, aimed at creating a safer work environment.

Comprehensive Coverage

Inspections must cover all areas of a workplace, including:

• Shop floors.
• Yards and outdoor workspaces.
• Offices and administrative areas.

Regulatory Requirements

Under Section 7.4(5)(e) of the Workplace Safety & Health Act, every workplace safety and health program must:

1. Include a schedule for regular inspections of all areas, processes, and procedures.
2. Document inspection findings and follow up with corrective actions.
