Workplace Inspection Programme

Regular safety inspections are an important part of a Department's system for managing Health and Safety. The inspections are done in association with the School Safety Officer and concentrate on the facilities, safe practice and supporting documentation. They also serve to identify unsafe procedures and unsafe conditions and rectify them before an accident happens. They provide an opportunity to ensure that other, more specific, checks and tests have been made at the appropriate intervals (e.g. on fume cupboards, microbiological safety cabinets, fire extinguishers, electrical equipment, pressure systems).
