Safety Inspections
Frequent, professional job site inspections modeled after OSHA standards to identify hazards, correct issues, and reinforce safe work practices.
Why Safety Inspections Matter
One of the most frequently cited OSHA violations for general contractors is the failure to conduct frequent and regular inspections of job sites, materials, and equipment by competent persons designated by the employer.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.20(b)(2) requires employers to actively inspect work conditions to identify and correct hazards before incidents occur.

Inspections Conducted the Way OSHA Does Them
Our safety inspection system mirrors how OSHA conducts job site inspections. A trained safety professional evaluates all hazards and violations affecting the crew and takes immediate, appropriate action to address issues.
“You can only expect what you inspect.”

Driving Accountability Through Consistency
Our inspection process supports both accountability and improvement. By documenting conditions, reinforcing expectations, and recommending corrective or reinforcing actions, inspections become a tool for strengthening safety culture—not just checking boxes.

It’s a Fact
Employees with OSHA-authorized safety training are less likely to place themselves in dangerous situations and are less prone to litigation should an accident or injury occur.
Regular inspections combined with proper training reduce risk, improve behavior, and protect your organization.
