Post Inspection /Final Check of the Worksite

Experience shows that a clean and tidy workplace is less exposed to dropped object risk than an untidy or poorly managed work area.

On facilities and installations with rotations and shift work, this effect is intensified by the fact that we are also exposed to other people’s “clutter”.
It is therefore extremely important that we have good routines for final checks of the worksite.
