Safety Inspection/Evaluation

• Workplace safety inspection
  • General/Office Workplace Inspection Checklist (Inspect office areas and other lower-hazard workplaces at least once per year).
  • Laboratory and Shop Inspection Checklist (Inspect labs and shops at least once per quarter)

    Contact EH&S (723-0448) for assistance with assessing special hazards.

• Evaluating job safety hazards
  The task safety analysis tool is designed to help supervisors assess and address health and safety hazards for tasks that have the potential to cause serious injury or illness (e.g. tool use, manual handling, loading dock work). Supervisors can also use the analysis as a tool for training staff on required safe work procedures, aiding with incident investigations, and process improvement.
• Recordkeeping
  Supervisors are responsible for maintaining records. Inspection documentation shall be kept for at least one year (unless otherwise specified).
