Health and Safety Inspection Log: Notebook to document your site health and safety inspection

Safety inspections come in all different forms depending on the environment being tested, but they generally compare results against acceptable standards to ensure that a given environment falls within acceptable safety limits.

The inspection process involves various people, such as health and safety specialists, managers, supervisors, and members of health and safety management committees, depending on the type and frequency of inspection.

The inspection process mainly focuses on four key areas:

• People: Workers, their behavior and methods
• Plant: Machinery, equipment and vehicles
• Premises: The workplace itself and the working environment
• Procedures: The methodologies, safe system of work and permit-to-work system

The frequency of inspection depends upon the nature of work being done, the materials, substances and equipment involved in the work process and the procedures being followed.

Depending on these factors, inspections may be carried out daily, weekly, monthly, bi-annually or annually.
