Recording and Reporting

Keeping inspection records is important. Past inspection records show what has been previously
identified. They also show what an earlier inspection team concentrated on and what areas it did not
inspect. Do not simply repeat or copy previous inspection results. Use the older inspection reports to help
look for issues, and then determine whether recommendations were implemented. Note if the changes
have been effective.

Report issues in a concise, factual way. Management should be able to understand and evaluate
the problems, assign priorities and quickly reach decisions. After each listed hazard, specify the
recommended corrective action and establish a definite correction date if possible and appropriate. Each
inspection team member should review for accuracy, clarity and thoroughness. Some of the guidelines for

recording and reporting are as follows:

 Write clearly or, when possible,
have the report typed.
 Coding of item is of benefit.
 Additional contacts frequently

help.
 Simply follow-up reports.
 File report properly.

Follow-Up and Monitoring

Review the information from regular inspections to identify where corrective action was needed.
Determine if these actions have been taken. Use older reports to identify trends. Analysis of inspection
reports may show the following:

• priorities for other corrective action
• need for improving safe work practices
• insight about why incidents are occurring in particular areas
• need for education and training in certain areas
