What should be documented during a safety inspection?

During a safety inspection, it is crucial to document deficiencies and non-conformances because this information directly addresses safety risks and compliance issues. By thoroughly identifying and recording any deficiencies, inspectors can ensure that necessary corrective actions are taken to mitigate hazards and improve safety standards. This documentation is essential for tracking the history of safety compliance, supporting future audits, and facilitating long-term improvements in safety practices.

While other factors, such as weather conditions and equipment models, can provide context for the inspection, they do not directly contribute to the primary goal of enhancing safety and addressing issues that may lead to accidents or violations. Focusing specifically on deficiencies and non-conformances allows organizations to prioritize safety effectively and take preventive measures.
