Occupational Safety Audits

HygieneTech safety professionals are uniquely qualified to conduct occupational safety audits that involve accident record review, policy and procedure review, and facility inspections in order to identify unsafe acts and conditions. The primary concerns include machine guarding, fire prevention, emergency evacuation procedures, storage of hazardous materials, work station design, industrial ventilation, lifting hazards, proper placement of emergency equipment, elevated platform safety, confined space entry, lockout/tagout programs, forklift safety, welding hazards, and use of personal protective equipment.

All such information is compiled on Safety Inspection Report forms that include site observations, applicable regulatory citations, recommended action, and corrective action deadlines. All survey observations and data are evaluated as appropriate with respect to the OSHA General Industry Safety Orders, Construction Safety Orders, Tunnel Safety Orders, and other applicable U.S., state, local or foreign rules and regulations. Recommendations are provided concerning appropriate, cost-effective controls and work practice modifications designed to limit the potential for injury, illness, reduced productivity, and/or loss of property.
