INTRODUCTION

HSE inspections are part of occupational and environmental health and safety systems for checking that an organisation’s operating and working procedures are meeting the required legal standards. An HSE inspection can identify occupational hazards and be the first step in introducing measures to improve conditions. HSE inspection can be formal, informal, recorded or unrecorded, but the important aspect is that HSE inspections are carried out to a set standard at an appropriate frequency. 

An HSE inspector may visit an organisation to examine the arrangements in place for assessing and controlling risks from work-related pressures or other workplace health, safety and environmental issues. During an EHS inspection, inspectors will be looking for evidence that the organisation has undertaken or plans to complete a suitable and sufficient occupational health and safety (OHS) risk assessment.
