Safety Managers indeed have the necessary safety training, expertise, and experience to comply with the OSHA rules. As a result, they are the go-to person for inspections, near misses, and accidents. However, Safety Managers can't be the be-all and end-all type of person in the company. We can't be in all places at the same time. 🤷♀️ That is why it is important to include Front line supervisors and employees during safety inspections as part of their safety exposure. That way, with or without inspection they already have a background on what to look out for in their respective facilities safety-wise. 👉 Immersing employees in inspection gives them the empowerment to spot and report near misses, items for improvement, and accidents rather than ignoring them - because they are now involved in the safety correction and prevention process. ✅ To know more about 'How to Include Employees in You Safety Inspection Process" click here - - > https://lnkd.in/e_WccwR7 #safetygeek #safetymanager #safetymanagement #ehs #safetyculture #workplacesafety #safetyandhealth #safetycareer #safetygoals #safetyinspection

There are three types of inspections a harness shall receive before and during its service life: 1. Initial 2. Frequent 3. Periodic Initial Inspection The initial inspection is going to be when you receive the harness from the manufacturer or distributor. You want to make sure it’s the right harness, meaning the correct size and model for yourself or your employees. During these inspections, you want to make sure there are no visible defects, especially with the sewing, stitching patterns. Frequent Inspection The frequent inspections would take place before daily use of the harness. This inspection will not be dependent on how much the harness is worn, but when the individual goes to put it on for the first time of any given day. End-users should inspect it hand over hand, just as is the case with a periodic inspection. It is suggested that depending on the application where the harness is used that an inspection occurs after it is removed for the day because there are situations where harnesses are shared. You want to make sure if you put a harness back on the shelf after you are done using it that it is safe to use again. Periodic Inspection At a minimum, a periodic inspection is needed once every, and not to exceed 12 months. A periodic inspection is a documented hand-over-hand inspection of each harness. The frequency of the harness inspection is determined by the frequency and severity of its use. Environmental factors will determine how frequently these inspections are necessary.
