Effective Workplace Inspections

Effective Workplace Inspections is a 3.5 hour  training course that provides you with the necessary knowledge and skills to do regular, planned, pre-use workplace inspections.

Training Overview

Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that workplaces be inspected monthly by health and safety representatives and designated members of the joint health and safety committees.

Supervisors and employers are encouraged to participate in the workplace inspection process as part of their due diligence in doing everything reasonable to protect workers.

This training course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and tools to complete effective workplace, pre-use inspections.

When an inspection is completed following the 5-Step inspection process, hazards are recognized and existing health and safety policies, procedures, and hazard controls are checked to ensure they are working.
