Notes on practical use and application

  • 1 The SH&E representative must give reasonable notice to the employer before carrying out inspections.

    2 The SH&E representative may conduct inspections at such intervals as agreed upon with the employer, normally within one week after the SH&E committee meeting.

    3 Use the guideline checklist for unsafe conditions as a trigger for inspections.

    4 During inspection concentrate on unsafe conditions and unsafe acts, which may occur.

    5 Report potential hazards to the health and safety of employees immediately to the responsible appointed supervisor in control of that area.

    6 Report potential hazards and all other deviations to the employer or designated person for actions.

    7 The SH&E representative’s report must be taken to the SH&E committee meeting for discussion, endorsement and recommendations. The chairman of the SH&E committee meeting is to sign the inspection report on behalf of the members of the SH&E committee meeting.

    8 All deviations that are identified by the SH&E representative must be minuted in the statutory meeting minutes for further actions. These deviations must be retained in the minutes until they have been adequately addressed.

    9 A Department of Labour inspector can do an inspection on the SH&E representative’s inspection register at any time and sign such report in the register.

  • Checklist for the SH&E representative

    a) If indicated no, give description of deviation.

    b) Indicate all potential hazards with an X.
