SAFETY INSPECTION
Items to consider in planning & conducting an
inspection:

1. What to inspect
2. How to inspect
3. Who will inspect

WHAT TO INSPECT
5 Ms

MAN

MACHINE

MATERIAL

METHOD

MOTHER
NATURE

WHO WILL INSPECT

May be carried out by groups of 3 people with skills &
experience to:
1. Encourage uniform standards or procedures
2. Highlight what is reasonably practical
3. Provide balanced reports

HOW TO INSPECT

Identify what procedures, systems or structures

should exist (basis of reference)

Determine whether above items are:

- in place
- personnel are aware of them
- complied with
- adequate

HOW TO INSPECT
1. Describe work in progress at time of inspection
2. Identify Deficiencies - describe the deficiencies
and identify the associated hazard level (low,
medium, or high)
Note: Medium and high hazards require immediate resolution.

3. Identify Repeat/Outstanding deficiencies

4. Identify Items closed

FREQUENCY OF INSPECTION
Depends upon the:

stage of construction

risk known to be in the area

volume of problems on rectification

revealed in previous inspections

accident record
