Workplace Inspection Report

Risk, Health and Safety

The purpose of regular Workplace Inspections is to identify any health and safety hazards that have gone unreported and control them before
an injury occurs. They can form part of the HIRAC Schedule in the Annual OHS Plan and are the responsibility of Safety Officers, who should
divide up the areas they are responsible for into sections and co-opt assistants to help with the inspection.

Specific risks like fire safety and electrical testing and tagging are controlled in other programs. While Risk, Health and Safety can provide
checklists on request, these inspections should not be onerous and are best done by someone (or preferably two people together) doing a
‘walk-through’ and looking for any hazards that have a risk of causing injury. In particular they should note:
 Any trip/slip hazards such as cords, obstructions or uneven flooring
 Anything obstructing egress such as boxes left in walkways
 Anything that has changed or deteriorated since the last inspection

Following completion of an inspection, copies of the Workplace Inspection Report must be emailed to:
 Those responsible for follow-up actions
 The Health and Safety Implementation Team (HSIT)
 Risk, Health and Safety (ohs@federation.edu.au)
