Hazards can be found in any workplace, and some are much harder to identify than others. So, it’s important that businesses adopt a proactive approach to health and safety, rather than a reactive approach, which solely focuses on safety issues after an incident has already occurred.
Proactively managing hazards helps businesses to identify and eliminate potential hazards before an accident takes place. Regular safety inspections are a must for any business that is committed to maintaining a safe workspace.
The Office Safety Inspection Checklist covers a wide range of areas, including:
- aisles and walkways
- emergency exits
- emergency lighting
- evacuation and relocation procedures
- housekeeping
- hazardous substances
- storage techniques
- office furniture and equipment and,
- work practices
