Inspection - Job Site

Part 2 of the OHS Code requires employers to assess a work site and identify existing or potential hazards before work begins. Using a checklist like this Job Site Inspection is an excellent way to identify hazards and implement controls effectively.

Why Job Site Inspections are Important:

• Enhances Worker Safety: Regular site inspections help identify and mitigate potential hazards, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Ensures Regulatory Compliance: Conducting thorough inspections helps meet legal requirements and avoid penalties for non-compliance.
• Promotes Proactive Hazard Management: Early detection of hazards allows for timely implementation of control measures, preventing incidents before they occur.
• Improves Operational Efficiency: Identifying and addressing potential issues early can prevent work stoppages and maintain smooth operations.
• Fosters a Safety Culture: Consistent job site inspections demonstrate a commitment to safety, encouraging all employees to prioritize and maintain a safe working environment.
