Workplace Inspection Checklist
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.
Develop Safe Work Procedures
High-risk or complex tasks in your business may require written Safe Work Procedures (SWP) to prevent workplace injuries. By consulting with your safety committee and workers, you can determine which tasks need documentation and ensure procedures are clear, concise, and effective in minimizing risks.
Working Alone
Workers who work alone or in isolation may be injured or at risk of violence when help is not readily available to them. B.C.’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation requires employers to take steps to protect all workers and reduce the risks associated with late-night and isolated shifts.
New & Young Workers
New and young workers need extra support as they build the awareness, confidence, and habits that help prevent injuries. Whether they're new to the job or just starting out, strong orientation and continued guidance are key to keeping them safe.
Orient, Train & Supervise Workers
Proper training ensures workers are competent, confident, and equipped to handle workplace hazards safely. From task-specific instruction to psychological health awareness, investing in training not only prevents injuries but also fosters a proactive safety culture.
Identify Hazards & Manage Risk
Identifying and controlling workplace hazards is key to preventing injuries and ensuring a safe environment. By assessing risks, implementing control measures, and continuously monitoring safety procedures, businesses can proactively reduce harm and protect workers' well-being.
