Enhancing Workplace Inspections in Mechanical Companies
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Mechanical Engineering
Abstract
Workplace inspection is an important action process in mechanical companies operations. It must look at the relationships between the workforce, the equipment and the procedures in determining the standards that are being met and maintained. The paper examines an overview of workplace inspections, workplace inspection team, steps in conducting a work place inspection, reasons for workplace inspection, the best time to conduct inspections, format for inspections and reporting, development of a recording and reporting system. It also encapsulates workplace inspection results producing pattern. It is therefore concluded that workplace inspection process requires all sectors of workplace to enhance standard performance of workforce in companies. The researchers thus recommended meaningful ways of internal policies, self-regulations, legislations as well as management of companies, establish effective and efficient inspection of workplace to maintain highest standards for work safety and healthy company operations.
