Workplace Inspections
Regular workplace inspections are a requirement of the general duty of care under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984.
These planned appraisals of the workplace are an effective means of pro-actively identifying hazards as part of the University's overall approach to accident prevention.
Safety & Health Representatives, in consultation with the employer and relevant staff, are responsible for ensuring inspections are completed.
The following "inspection checklists" for different areas commonly encountered at the University has been developed to assist areas to meet this requirement:
