Tips for inspections
Choose a limited area
Inspect areas where work recently took place / is taking place
Inspect area where you do not work
Few people divide each area – avoid overlap
What does it mean to inspect?- Look- Touch/ Shake / Move
Focus especially on:
- Issues highlighted in drops manual
- Temporary equipment
- Equipment over side- Exposure to energy (wind, high temprature etc)- Equipment that is not in use - Equipment stored at heights
