Module 5: Conducting Effective Workplace Inspections and Audits
- Developing inspection checklists that reflect both regulatory requirements and site-specific risks
- Scheduling unannounced audits to assess real-world compliance versus prepared conditions
- Training auditors to recognize subtle signs of control failure, such as tape-sealed ducts or bypassed interlocks
- Managing conflicts when audit findings contradict operational management observations
