Unit VII Assessment Questions:

1. Discuss the worksite inspection process in use at your current organization or at an organization with which you are familiar. Who conducts the inspections? How are the

results communicated? Are actions taken to resolve deficiencies? Are deficiencies

tracked until resolved? Based on best practices in the current safety literature, what would

you recommend to improve the process?

Your response must be at least 300 words in length. All sources used, including the

textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying

citations.

2. Conduct an informal safety inspection of a section of your current workplace. Use a checklist you developed yourself, or one that you found in a textbook, journal article, or

on the Internet. Conduct this initial inspection by yourself. Compile a list of the hazards

you identified (controlled and uncontrolled). Conduct the inspection again, but for the

second inspection, talk to one or more employees about their perception of the hazards to

which they are exposed, in addition to using the checklist, compile a second list of

hazards and compare it to the first. If they are different, provide some possible

explanations for the differences. If they are the same, does that mean you have identified

all the hazards? (If you are not currently working, see if you can get a local business to

allow you to do the “inspection.”)

Your response must be at least 300 words in length. All sources used, including the

textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying

citations.
