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.
