View
The purpose of pre-use and audit inspections is to identify and correct workplace Health, Safety and Environmental hazards in all aspects of company operations.
Supervisors and workers continually conduct ongoing inspections as part of their job responsibilities. Such inspections identify hazardous conditions and either correct them immediately or report them for corrective action. The frequency of these inspections varies with the amount and conditions of the equipment used. Daily checks by users assure that the equipment meets minimum acceptable safety requirements.
Laws and regulations may specify that qualified or competent persons must inspect certain types of equipment, such as elevators, boilers, pressure vessels, scaffolding, and fire extinguishers at determined points in the work process and at regular intervals.
