Training alone isn't sufficient for effective workplace inspections.

• A robust health and safety program, including clear policies, well-defined procedures, and supervision, is crucial for effective inspections.
• If your workplace employs more than five workers, a written health and safety policy is mandatory. This policy demonstrates your commitment to workplace safety and prevention.
• Developing and maintaining a program to support your policy is equally important.
