Work place inspection
It’s the primary inspection for systematic improvement of labor safety and hygiene at work place.
The following simple inspections shall be held for inspection of labor safety and hygiene at work place:
- The basic inspection for work place (on monthly basis)
- Establish a structure for keeping track of accidents and incidents
- Medical screening for employees once per a year.
- Constant improvement and development of own management system
Main objective of inspection:
- Determine risks and hazards at work places leading to accidents, incidents and morbidity
- Determine scope of risks and hazards (its impacts to employees and way of its assessment)
- Take corrective actions
- Conduct survey on effectiveness of corrective actions. Identified hazards shall be eliminated.
- Work place inspection is held to identify and analyze new priority issues are work places.
Work place inspection and detailed systematic analysis are the most important stage of prevention. Work place inspections require cooperation of employees and management and their support. These inspections don’t have to be held formally and it’s important to promote employees to inform the hazards and risks at work places to management and supervisors.
There are 2 types of work place inspection, firstly, internal monitoring inspections and secondly third party inspection. During the inspection, it’s required to arrange third party inspection, inspect the risks at work places and develop conclusion.
We conduct third party audits and cooperate with consumers. Besides arranging complete inspection at work places, we develop third party conclusion on management system, safety program and implementation and provide instructions and recommendations.
Pre-determining safety risks and health hazards:
Inspections are useful for establishing sources of unsafe conditions, health hazards and risks. Analysis for risks, hazards and establishing its scope is assessment method for actual effect to work places. After inspections, the impact and effect levels have to be established. Some parameters for labor and health safety at work place as follows:
- Dust level (overall and dust with thin particles)
- Chemical level
- Noise level
- Air temperature, relative moist and air movement
These parameters are measured to inspect the suitability of work place conditions and evaluate efficiency of implemented actions.
The following 3 main standards are followed in regards to labor hygiene and safety:
o Divide 8 hours or one shift to one working hour to find its hourly impact (TWA)
o Short-term impact is measured during 15 minutes and compared (STEL)
o It’s compared to maximum allowable limit.
These measurements are done with special measuring devices and tools. In most of countries these measurements are done by specialized organizations.
Measuring these parameters can help your operations to identify number of employees working at hazardous work places with labor safety and hygiene hazards and risks. For example, number of employees who handle with chemicals that transmit through repiration organs, skin and digestion system can be determined and analyze their blood and urine in lab to establish whether chemicals exceed allowed limit. This additional info is included to work place inspection. Inspecting the employees’ health constantly is a method of maintaining the healthcare effectively. Shall pay more attention on employees, who work at work places with various conditions like noise, chemical and negative micro-climate and involve them in medical screening.
The following shall be included in medical screening that is arranged compulsorily on yearly basis:
It’s important to use observation method when arranging work place inspections and listen to employees’ opionions and take a note on it. Work place inspection sheet, measurement results, medical screening reports, and accident and incident reports are crucial info for further implementation and planning of corrective actions for labor safety and hygiene.
Constant inspection at work places:
Work place inspections are required to be held constantly after implementation of all planned actions in order to plan further actions:
Constant work place inspection improves labor safety and hygiene. General work place inspection shall be held once per a year by a team appointed from your company. However, chemical warehouses and chemical mixture areas and sewage retreatment facilities shall be inspected constantly on monthly basis if possible. You can visit work places daily and clarify from employees the work place conditions, priority issues of labor hygiene and safety and suggestions on it. If any objects that require special inspection exist at work places like boilers and pressurized containers, it shall be inspected in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
