WHY INSPECTIONS
Find the hazards before they find someone
Regular inspections are one of the simplest ways to find hazards before they hurt someone. A checklist keeps each inspection consistent, so nothing gets missed and you can show what was checked and when.
Under WHS laws, a business must identify reasonably foreseeable hazards and manage the risks. Inspections help you do that, and the completed checklists give you a record of the hazards found and the action taken.
Spot hazards early
Damaged equipment, blocked exits, missing signs and out-of-date first aid items are picked up on a regular schedule.
Keep a record
Each completed checklist shows what was inspected, who did it, and what needs fixing.
Follow up actions
Record who will fix each item and by when, so issues are closed out, not forgotten.
