Safeopedia explains Technical Inspection
Workplace safety officials are required by regulations to inspect equipment within specific schedules to ensure that workplace safety is optimised. These inspections range from the simple, visual inspection of ladders to ensure that there are no visible signs of wear, to schedules and checklists aimed at ensuring that more complex equipment like boilers or forklifts are in good working order. OSHA provides specifications, standards and checklists for various types of inspections, and records of all inspections should be kept.
