The inspections and checklists that keep a construction site compliant — plant, scaffold, ladders and fire equipment, recorded in your safety file.
Safety inspections are the regular checks that confirm equipment, plant and the site itself are safe to use — scaffolding, ladders, electrical tools, fire equipment, the works. Each inspection is recorded on a checklist or register so there's a documented trail.
Different items have different inspection intervals: scaffolding before use and after any change, portable electrical tools regularly, fire equipment monthly, and so on. The Construction Regulations and the OHS Act set the duties; the checklists in your file make them easy to follow.
Every inspection produces a record. Your safety file includes the inspection checklists and the registers to log them, so when a principal contractor or inspector asks for proof that the scaffold or the tools were checked, the answer is already on file.
