Seven Basic Quality Tools
The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is a safety inspection? An inspection is a formalized procedure for identifying workplace hazards. There are three main types of inspections: one-time inspections, pre-use inspections, and periodic inspections.
What is a one-time inspection? One-time inspections are performed before operating new or modified equipment or processes.
How often should periodic inspections be performed? Periodic inspections are done at some regular interval to evaluate areas that have the potential to cause injuries. They should be done often enough to find hazards before they cause injures. For example, monthly inspections of departments in a manufacturing facility may be sufficient, but more frequent inspections are required for areas, like construction sites, that are constantly changing.
What is the purpose of safety observations? The purpose of an observation is to identify and reinforce safe behaviors, and eliminate unsafe behaviors.
Who should perform inspections and observations? Inspections should be performed by a team of people familiar with the work area. A safety observation should be performed by a supervisor or other trained employee. To have an effective proactive safety program, management must be committed to and employees must participate in inspections and observations.
