Health and safety inspections
We carry out routine inspections of work places to assess the
degree of risk associated with the particular work activity. This
determines the frequency of future inspections. During inspections,
we consider a range of working conditions including:
- use and storage of chemicals
- safety of equipment, first aid
- sanitary and washing facilities
- guarding of machinery
- the degree of exposure to noise
- cleanliness
We also check that employers have a company safety policy, have
carried out risk assessments, have safe systems of work, and that
staff have appropriate training.
