About the course
What this course covers.
A workplace inspection only works if it finds the real hazards, ranks them honestly, and leads to something getting fixed. A walk-around with a checklist that nobody acts on is wasted effort. This course gives a worker or supervisor the framework to run an inspection that holds up and drives correction.
The course covers the purpose and benefits of a formal inspection, how to prepare for and conduct one, and how to evaluate and rank the hazards and risks observed. It then covers developing recommendations for corrective actions, preparing an inspection report, monitoring and following up on those corrective actions, and making a justifiable case for the recommendations so they get the resources to happen.
Companies use Workplace Inspections to train the people who run inspections, to standardise how a crew inspects and reports, and to give a COR auditor documented evidence under the inspections element of a safety program.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
Our inspections used to be a checklist nobody read. This course gave our team a real framework - rank the hazard, write the recommendation, follow it up.
Hailey M.
Safety Coordinator
The part on making the case for recommendations was the eye-opener. Half our findings used to die because nobody justified the fix.
Devon R.
Supervisor
We assign this to every committee member. It is short, practical, and our COR auditor was satisfied with the inspection records that came out of it.

The certificate does not expire, though the course is recommended to be retaken every three years to keep the training current and the audit file fresh.

Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety legislation requires that workplaces are inspected regularly so hazards are found and controlled. Workplace Inspections provides the documented training record a COR auditor looks for under the inspections element of a safety program.
