MP:05 Inspections & Monitoring of Health & Safety Version: 11 PURPOSE & SCOPE Health and Safety legislation requires that a system be implemented which monitors and reviews the effectiveness of control measures that have been implemented to ensure workplace health and safety. In addition to this, it also allows a Health and Safety Representative (where applicable) or site team member to undertake inspections at weekly intervals. Inspections help to keep management informed of the general level of safety efficiency at a workplace and form a background against which accidents can be reviewed. There are numerous ways an inspection can be conducted including: - Informal walk through of areas; - Systematic formal inspections; and - Specialist inspections of issues i.e. manual handling, formwork, etc. Hutchinson Builders adopts a system that utilises all of these together with regular audits. Checklists and forms have been developed for specific issues to assist in the process of site inspections. Health and Safety Audits are conducted to minimise the potential for accidents by subjecting each area of Hutchinson Builders activities to a systematic, critical examination. A health and safety audit is a safety management tool for management to measure performance of the health and safety program in place for Hutchinson Builders. Audits will be undertaken on a regular basis with the involvement of the site team members, over and above regular site safety inspections. The audit should consider a wide variety of topics from evaluation of public protection to measuring the effectiveness of the injury reporting system. This procedure applies to all Hutchinson Builders controlled workplaces and construction projects. DEFINITIONS Inspection Formal Workplace Inspection Responsible Manager Audit Means a formal or informal observation of the workplace to evaluate the effectiveness of implemented control measures of known hazards. Observations will evaluate all areas of workplace with the goal of identifying new hazards. Means a systematic, documented inspection of a Hutchinson Builders controlled working environment Means the Hutchinson Builders Manager (or person in control of the workplace) who is accountable (in accordance with the OHSCP) for ensuring that H&S inspections are conducted in the workplace. A formal observation and evaluation of the workplace or organisation according to a defined set of criteria. Audits may also be conducted to H&S documentation including but not limited to - inspection reports, accident/incident information, rehabilitation information, policies and procedures, and training records. PROCEDURES General 1. Hutchinson Builders shall implement and maintain a process that facilitates the systematic identification and monitoring of safety issues at Hutchinson Builders controlled workplaces and construction sites, a Scheduled Project Action Plan (HB-HSEQ-F-007 Project Roles & Responsibilities) is to be developed for each project to reflect activities for the project team on a daily, weekly and monthly basis including: a. Informal inspections; b. Formal workplace inspections; c. Audits; d. Corrective Action Reports (C.A.R. s) (MP:06 - Non-compliance with Health & Safety Requirements) and e. Project H&S Monthly Review meetings Page 1 of 6
