A fresh set of eyes across your workplace
Not every workplace hazard is obvious during day-to-day operations. Changes to equipment, storage, traffic flow and work areas can introduce risks that gradually become part of the normal working environment.
SCS conducts practical workplace inspections to identify visible safety concerns and provide clear, prioritised actions for your business to address.
Inspections can be completed as a standalone review or incorporated into a broader workplace compliance program.
Areas we can assess
General Workplace Safety Inspections
A broader inspection of your workplace can identify physical hazards, unsafe conditions and areas where existing controls may need attention.
Our service may include:
- accessways, walkways and work areas
- slips, trips and fall hazards
- housekeeping and storage practices
- safety signage and barriers
- access to exits and emergency equipment
- visible plant and equipment hazards
- general condition of workplace facilities
- other site-specific safety concerns identified during the inspection
The scope can be tailored to the type of workplace and the activities carried out on site.
Pallet Racking Inspections
Damaged, altered or incorrectly used pallet racking can create significant risks in warehouses, workshops and storage facilities.
Our service may include:
- damaged uprights, beams and bracing
- impact damage from forklifts or other mobile plant
- missing or damaged safety clips and components
- damaged footplates and fixings
- visible overloading or beam deflection
- rack configuration changes
- load signage and rated capacities
- racking protection and surrounding clearance
Inspection findings are documented so damaged or non-conforming areas can be prioritised for further action.
Traffic & Pedestrian Safety
Where forklifts, trucks, delivery vehicles or other mobile plant operate around workers and visitors, vehicle and pedestrian movements need to be considered together.
Our service may include:
- vehicle and pedestrian interaction points
- designated walkways and crossings
- loading and unloading areas
- forklift operating areas
- barriers and physical separation
- site entry and exit arrangements
- speed, directional and warning signage
- blind spots and restricted visibility
- parking and delivery movements
Where improvements are identified, these can be documented to support safer movement around the workplace.
From inspection to action
A useful workplace inspection should do more than produce a long checklist.
Following the inspection, SCS provides a practical record of the issues identified and the areas requiring attention. Findings can be prioritised according to the nature of the risk, helping your business determine what requires immediate action and what can be incorporated into planned maintenance or improvement works.
Where an issue requires specialist assessment, repair or another trade, this can also be identified in the report.
Has your workplace changed since it was last reviewed?
New equipment, altered storage, increased stock levels, different vehicle movements or changes to the way an area is used can all affect workplace safety.
SCS can inspect your current site conditions and help identify issues that may otherwise be overlooked.
