HSE Field Inspections and Audits
One day to carry out HSE inspections and audits that move the field forward rather than fill in checklists: prepare the visit, observe installations and practices, talk with the teams, rate findings and follow actions through to closure. The afternoon takes place in your workshops, with a real inspection carried out in pairs.

Frequently asked questions
Inspection or HSE audit, what is the difference?
An inspection looks at the state of an area at a given moment: installations, housekeeping, behaviours. An audit checks that a process works over time, with evidence: induction of new starters, permits to work, action follow-up. The two complement each other.
Do we need a different checklist for each area?
A common base with a few points specific to each area is generally enough: a loading dock, a washing room and a maintenance workshop do not present the same risks. The course shows how to draw these points from your risk assessment.
Are periodic equipment verifications covered?
Their place is explained, but they remain carried out by competent people or bodies. The internal inspection checks that they are done on time and that remarks are cleared.
Who can inspect?
Supervisors, HSE coordinators and liaisons, safety committee members. A pair combining a supervisor and an operator from another area often gives the most useful view.
