NOT Safe For Work
Ongoing safety inspections that consider all the areas identi- fied in a hazard assessment are an integral part of ensuring our workplaces are as safe and healthy for our employees as possible. Failure to conduct these inspections can result in serious injuries and costly fines. How often do these inspections need to be done and by whom? ... there isn’t a stated frequency. OSHA just requires that they be done in a manner that reasonably complies with “frequent and regular.”
sanitation and maintenance of water containers, it’s a violation of OSHA code.
Employers must ensure drinking water is stored in clean, food- grade containers, protected from contamination, and regularly inspected and maintained to prevent health risks and comply with OSHA regulations for workplace safety and health.
10. Failure to Conduct Regular Safety Inspections
OSHA requires that employers conduct safety inspections of the workplace to identify and correct potential hazards. This is often referred to as a hazard assessment, which is used to identify the areas where a company is out of compliance and establish a plan to address those shortcomings. (For more, see “Hazards Ahead”, Adventure Park Insider, Winter 2023 . ) How often do these inspections need to be done and by whom? OSHA’s General Safety and Health Provisions (29 CFR 1926.20) states “… programs shall provide for frequent and regular inspections of the job sites, materials, and equipment to be made by competent persons designated by the employ- ers.” So, there isn’t a stated frequency. OSHA just requires that they be done in a manner that reasonably complies with “frequent and regular.”
Learning and Acting
In the end, OSHA compliance and workplace safety is about finding out what we don’t know, then acting on that new knowledge. The great news is that there are many resources to assist with that process, including Adventure Park Insider , the “Challenge Course Pro Tips!” workplace safety video series (available on adventureparkinsider.com and YouTube), and the OSHA.gov website.
