7.2.1     Informal Workplace Inspections

All employees are expected to maintain continual awareness of hazards in their work areas. This is accomplished by supervisors conducting regular walk-throughs of their areas of authority and by workers checking their work areas prior to commencing work. No formal inspection report is required; however, any detected hazards must be corrected immediately if the task is within the employee’s capabilities. If not, the hazard should be reported to the area supervisor or management for correction.
