Inspections

Workplace inspections are required under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. There are two distinct types of inspection:

  1. Annual inspections of the entire University by the Joint Health & Safety Committee.
  2. Monthly inspections by every Supervisor of their specific area.

Annual Inspections by JOHSC

The Â鶹´«Ã½ Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC) will inspect all workplace areas on campus annually (see Â鶹´«Ã½ Internal Inspection Program). The inspection team is led by an employee representative of the JOHSC along with a representative from Â鶹´«Ã½ Occupational Health and Safety. Representatives from the area being inspected are requested to join the team on their inspection.

The JOHSC has prepared a JOHSC Workplace Inspection Checklist that is available to help you to ensure that your workplace remains safe at all times.
