Procedure 1. The Manager and/or Employee Safety Representative is to inspect work area, preferably monthly, or minimum of 4 times per year. 2. The inspection rating should be ticked appropriately/ Acceptable or Unacceptable. 3. If an item can be corrected without putting a person at risk of harm or injury, it should be remedied and marked accordingly. 4. Items that cannot be corrected immediately are to be listed on the safety inspection report for the area effected. Consultation should occur between the Safety Representative and Manager to determine action to be taken, and who will be responsible for this action. 5. The completed safety inspection report is to be tabled at each Occupational Safety and Health Committee Meeting.
