Safety and health inspections

Safety and health inspections target specific operational, facility or program deficiencies that could cause accidents, injuries and illnesses. The inspections also foster compliance with OSHA regulations and standards. At the conclusion of an inspection, safety employees must meet with the installation head and union representatives who accompanied the inspection team to advise them of deficiencies disclosed by the inspection.

Deficiencies noted in the inspection must be posted in a prominent location readily available to all employees.

And that’s smart safety!

Personal protective equipment

Employees must be retrained on PPE when:

• Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete
• Changes in the types of PPE to be used render previous training obsolete
• They demonstrate inadequacies in retaining the requisite understanding or skill to use PPE

Training documentation must be maintained in the Learning Management System (LMS) and must include, at a minimum, the employee’s name, date(s) of training, and training subject.

And that’s smart safety.
