An inspection can uncover issues that are easy to overlook during a busy shift. The value comes from recording what you find clearly enough for someone to act on it.
In the third module of IBTC’s Occupational Health and Safety Short Course, you’ll learn how to prepare for and carry out a workplace inspection, document your findings and report them. You’ll also look at how to identify corrective and preventative actions and follow up on what was agreed.
For example, “poor housekeeping” is a broad observation. “Packaging was left in the pedestrian aisle next to the dispatch desk” tells the team what you found and where. If the same issue shows up again, that record gives you a starting point for a better question. Does the team have somewhere practical to put discarded packaging during a busy shift?
Completing this module earns you 5 SAIOSH CPD points.
