4.	In order to identify and correct workplace hazards, periodic safety inspections will be conducted of all worksites, materials, company vehicles and procedures on a basis.

A safety inspection will take place when the injury & illness prevention program is first established. These inspections will be conducted by . Inspections will be completed using the "Hazard Checklists”. The form will be noted to identify safety hazards, unsafe conditions, and work practices as well as their priority for attention. The date the hazard is abated, and the corrective measures taken, will also be noted on the form.

Additionally, unscheduled inspections will take place whenever any new substance, process, procedure, or equipment is introduced into the workplace. An inspection, investigation and adoption of appropriate safeguards will take place whenever a new or previously unrecognized hazard is noted.

Results of the inspections will be reviewed by and addressed according to priority. Minor safety hazards, unsafe conditions and work practices identified by each inspection will be corrected as soon as possible. Serious safety hazards, unsafe conditions and work practices and those presenting an "imminent danger" to employees will be abated immediately. Failing this, all employees shall be removed from the sight of the imminent hazard until said hazard is corrected.

Records of these inspections shall be retained by for a period of no less than three years after the date of the inspection, and permanently, if physical storage conditions permit.

5.	All work related accidents will be investigated by the appropriate employee’s immediate supervisor in a timely manner.

Minor incidents and "near accidents" will be investigated as well as serious accidents. Investigating work related accidents will provide information regarding accident prevention as well as pointing out "trends" which indicate problems that need to be corrected. The investigation will determine what factors, conditions, and/or practices contributed to the accident, but is not intended as a vehicle for assigning "blame" for the accident.

Accidents will be investigated using the "Supervisor's Report of Accident" form according to the following principles:

A)	Accident scene will be visited as soon as possible--while facts are fresh and before witnesses forget important details.

B)	If possible, the injured will be interviewed at the scene of the accident and "walked" through a re-enactment.

C)	All interviews will be as private as possible. Witnesses will be interviewed one at a time. Everyone who has knowledge of the accident will be interviewed even if they did not actually witness it.

D)	Signed statements will be taken in cases where facts are unclear or there is an element of controversy.

E)	Details will be documented graphically using sketches, measurements, diagrams and photos as needed.

F)	The investigation will focus on causes and hazards. The cause of the accident, and not just the injury, will be investigated.

G)	Every investigation will conclude with an action plan for preventing the accident in the future.

H)	Where a third party or defective product contributed to the accident, all evidence will be saved.

Accident reports shall be retained by for a period of not less than three years after the accident and permanently, if physical storage conditions permit.
