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
