Loading ...OSHA/OHS INSPECTION PROCEDURES
October 22, 2008
Here are written instructions you can add or adapt to your policies and procedures regarding OSHA/OHS inspections. The term “walkaround” refers to U.S. OSHA inspection procedures. Use the term “inspection” if you’re in Canada.Tell your representative to:
- Make a complete and accurate record of everything the inspector does during the walkaround/inspection;
- Take notes of everything the inspector says, including all questions asked and how they were answered;
- Take all the same measurements, photographs, tape recordings, and videos the inspector does; and
- Photograph and/or videotape the inspector taking photos, measurements, etc.
Example: If the inspector takes a photo of a blocked fire exit, the representative should also photograph the exit. If the exit is cleared five minutes later, the representative should photograph it again to document that you fixed the problem while the inspector was still at your facility.
