1.1 Content of an Inspection Report and Certificate
An inspection report and its accompanying certificate are essential
occupational health and safety (OHS) documents that confirm compliance with
legislation, safety standards, and best practices. They are particularly important in
high-risk environments like steel manufacturing, where hazards such as chemical
exposure, high temperatures, noise, and mechanical equipment are prevalent.
Inspection Report Content
An inspection report is a formal record of the findings gathered during a safety
or occupational hygiene inspection. It typically includes:
1. Introduction and Purpose of Inspection:
Outlines the reason for the inspection—routine check, complaint follow-up, or
legal requirement.
2. Details of the Facility Inspected: Includes the name, location, and
operational overview of the steel manufacturing plant.
3. Date and Time of Inspection: Provides context for the findings and helps
track frequency of inspections.
4. Names of Inspectors and Participants: Lists occupational hygienists or
safety officers, and any accompanying management staff.
5. Scope of Inspection: Specifies areas inspected (e.g., smelter area,
furnace section, loading bays, etc.) and type of inspection conducted (e.g.,
noise levels, air quality, chemical storage).
6. Findings and Observations:
Identifies potential hazards such as:
o Poor ventilation in furnace areas
o Inadequate PPE usage
o Excessive dust or fume levels
o High decibel noise levels exceeding 85 dB
7. Assessment of Risks: Evaluates the severity and likelihood of harm
caused by identified hazards.
8. Photographic Evidence (if applicable): Supports findings with visual
documentation.
