This customizable template is used to conduct general workplace inspections. Regulation dictates that workplace inspections need to occur “regularly” and must be documented. Inspections should be reviewed by the joint health and safety committee during meetings. Hazards identified in the inspection can be fixed by assigning tasks and setting reasonable deadlines for completion.
Inspect Your Workplace
Regular workplace inspections help identify and address physical and psychological hazards before they lead to incidents. By using checklists, engaging workers, and focusing on key risk areas, you can create a safer, healthier work environment.
Hold Safety Meetings
Regular safety meetings help keep your team informed about health and safety issues while fostering a culture of shared responsibility. By integrating safety discussions into department, management, and company-wide meetings, you can address concerns, track progress, and promote both physical and psychological well-being in the workplace.
