Workplace inspections have legal status, being an obvious part of the general duty of care and in the WHS act.
Outsource Safety will:
-
Identify aspects of the working environment and work tasks that could contribute to injury/damage – and thus allow unacceptable conditions or conduct to be addressed;
-
Review workplace standards in accordance with legal and company requirements;
-
Provide a systematic means, for those who are at risk of injury, to help control the working conditions.
Inspections are an essential element in hazard reduction because issues are identified, assessed, fixed or reported. In this way risks are reduced and making the workplace safer.
Inspections are only part of the hazard control strategy, they are complemented by:
-
Plant and equipment audits;
-
Task analysis and introduction of safety procedures;
-
Control and monitoring of materials;
-
Employee training;
-
Consultative procedures/safe systems of work; and
-
Safe work method statements (SWMS).
Competent and qualified Health, Safety & Environmental Consultants are available for specific inspections such as machine guarding surveys, confined spaces and lock out tag out points, site inspections etc.
We make sure to communicate any deficiencies identified and document the process for your due diligence records.
Outcomes include:
-
A working environment and work tasks that could contribute to injury/damage are identified.
-
The establishment of a systematic process established which will allow for the organisation to plan, prioritise and implement the necessary control actions.
