Perform Daily Safety Inspection using eAuditor

A Daily Safety Inspection is a routine check performed to identify potential hazards, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and verify that equipment, work areas, and safety protocols are in good condition. The goal is to prevent accidents and injuries by proactively addressing safety issues.

Performing a Daily Safety Inspection using eAuditor helps ensure that hazards are identified early, equipment is functioning properly, and safety standards are met. Here’s a step-by-step guide to conducting the inspection:

Steps to Perform Daily Safety Inspection Using eAuditor

1. Set Up or Download a Daily Safety Checklist

• Use eAuditor’s pre-built Daily Safety Inspection checklist or create a custom checklist that aligns with your workplace safety needs.
• Include key inspection points like work area safety, equipment condition, PPE usage, hazardous materials, emergency preparedness, and employee behavior.

2. Inspect Work Areas for Hazards

• Check for any clutter, slips, or tripping hazards (e.g., loose wires, spills, or debris).
• Verify that walkways, exits, and emergency routes are clear and unobstructed.
• Ensure that safety signs are visible and in good condition.

3. Inspect Equipment and Tools

• Verify that machinery and tools are in good working order and do not show signs of damage or malfunction.
• Ensure that safety features (e.g., emergency stop buttons, and guards) are intact and functioning properly.
• Check vehicles for safe operation and proper maintenance.

4. Assess Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Check that all workers are wearing the required PPE (e.g., hard hats, safety goggles, gloves).
• Ensure the PPE is in good condition, free of damage or wear, and suitable for the tasks.

5. Verify Hazardous Material Handling

• Ensure Proper storage of hazardous materials  with appropriate labeling and containment.
• Confirm the adequate ventilation in the area and contains with necessary safety equipment (e.g., spill kits, and eye wash stations).

6. Emergency Preparedness Checks

• Verify clear marking of emergency exits and ensure that they are free from obstruction.
• Check that fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and alarm systems are accessible,  and in good condition.
• Confirm that emergency response plans are visible and employees are aware of them.

7. Observe Employee Behavior

• Observe employees to ensure they are following safety protocols (e.g., using equipment correctly, wearing PPE, and adhering to safe work practices).
• Address any unsafe behaviors immediately, and reinforce safety practices where necessary.

8. Document Findings in eAuditor

• Record all inspection results directly into eAuditor, noting any hazards or safety violations discovered.
• Add photos or comments for specific issues, providing a clear record of what needs attention.

9. Assign Corrective Actions

• For any issues, use eAuditor to create and assign corrective actions (e.g., repair equipment, clear pathways, replace damaged PPE).
• Set deadlines for completing corrective actions and assign the responsible person for follow-up.

10. Generate and Share Reports

• Use eAuditor to generate a detailed inspection report summarizing the findings, corrective actions, and any safety violations.
• Share the report with safety managers, supervisors, or employees to keep them informed and ensure proper follow-up.

11. Schedule Regular Inspections

• Use eAuditor’s scheduling feature to set up recurring Daily Safety Inspections to maintain ongoing safety standards and ensure continuous improvement.

By conducting a Daily Safety Inspection using eAuditor, you can ensure that hazards are identified early, safety standards are met, and corrective actions are documented and tracked for improvement. This proactive approach reduces risks and helps create a safer work environment.
