OSHA Safety and Health Handbook Provides Self-Inspection Checklists
At the core of every effective safety and health program is a systematic process for finding and fixing workplace hazards. Self-inspections are a critical part of a safety and health management system. These inspections are important in identifying new or emerging hazards and ensuring the safety and health of workers.
Small business employers should conduct routine workplace self-inspections to:
- Identify hazards,
- Control identified hazards, and
- Monitor and evaluate hazard controls to verify that they continue to be effective.
OSHA’s Small Business Safety and Health Handbook provides self–inspection checklists to help employers and workers identify workplace hazards. The handbook also summarizes the benefits of an effective safety and health program, and reviews key workplace safety and health resources for small businesses.
