Regular workplace inspections are a critical part of any occupational health and safety programme: they identify and eliminate hazards, prevent injuries and illness and promote a safer working environment.
ASOSH provides HSE inspection services to businesses and organisations of all sizes. Our inspectors are trained in current techniques for identifying and controlling hazards in the workplace.
Types of HSE inspection
Safety tour
An informal walk around the workplace by managers to appraise working conditions and safety practice, check compliance with the systems in force and discuss safety with staff.
Safety sampling
Inspection of a representative sample of products, processes or systems to detect hazards, defects or non-conformities.
Safety survey
An assessment of the safety conditions in a workplace or facility to identify hazards and plan how to control or eliminate them.
Programmed inspection
Systematic, scheduled inspection of equipment, machinery and facilities to detect defects and confirm that safety measures work.
Incident / accident inspection
Carried out after an incident to determine root causes and contributing factors and to prevent recurrence.
