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 staff have appropriate training.
