To reinforce and promote safe conditions and operations
in the workplace. To monitor individual performance in
safety, reward good behavior and address poor behavior.
To monitor general safety compliance in the workplace
so that future safety efforts focus on our deficiencies as a
system and/or corporation.

8. New Employee Management to conduct one jobsite,
vehicle-equipment and road observation
report in the first 30 days
straight forward, help correct any problems or misconceptions up front. Tell them that most accidents happen in the first year of employment

9. Problem Employee Management to conduct a follow-up
inspection within 30 days following
a below average inspection.
We want to see if the employee has corrected his/her problematic actions

10. Accident Issue(s) Increased inspections should be conducted which
monitor and target emerging safety issues. This
type of safety inspection should also address any
accident trending concerns.
As safety awareness grows, we would look for this type of survey to increase with elements of management looking to address concerns.

11. Jobsite/Road Observation/Vehicle and Equipment Inspections
These primary safety inspections are intended for
managers to monitor and measure safety as an
operational concern in their departments.
straightforward, state the purpose

12. Facility Inspections
Because these surveys impact more than one department, a facility inspection team should conduct this inspection
The team should be composed of people from many different departments.
Stress the use of a “team” different perspectives given the various exposures

13. Focused Inspections New Employees Emerging Safety Issues
Problem Employees
These surveys need to be done by a person or a team, which best fits the need or reason for the survey. Follow-up is very important in these types of surveys.
