Health and Safety Inspections are an integral part of a safe and proactive attitude in the workplace. If performed correctly, and with sufficient frequency, these inspections will reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, and can even save lives. The biggest problem however, is complacency. Many companies perform regular Health and Safety Inspections, however, due to being overly familiar with the workplace, tend to miss a variety of key safety issues. The other reason this occurs, is that many people chosen to conduct an inspection, have never been formally trained on what to look for.
At Safety 1st, we offer a variety of Health and Safety Inspections and Safety Walks that can enhance your current structure, highlight areas previously overlooked, and even start out from scratch, to provide the necessary information. From here, an accurate needs assesment can be formulated and an action plan put in place, prioritizing the "HOT" issues, which can save time, money and incidents.
Other types of inspections that we can offer your company are the "Mock" OSHA or M.O.L. inspections which can pinpoint the areas that tend to be enforced with greater frequency, as well as performing full safety audits.
These inspections and assesments can fall into the following 3 categories: * Basic
* Standard
* In depth
Depending on the size of your facility, the inspections can be performed as a whole, or by department. In addition, we can train your personnel how to perform more in depth inspections, and develop an organized checklist for them to follow per department.
