Premises inspections should be carried out daily by area supervisors and should be supplemented by a monthly premises inspection by the program coordinator or safety committee.
The results of these inspections should be reviewed by upper management and any necessary action taken. No recommendations should be waived without the authorization of the safety program coordinator.
Ideally, a customized inspection checklist should be developed based on your special knowledge of your business.
This premises inspection checklist should be developed to meet your specific needs. A general checklist is available.
