Organizational Inspection

Due to the high rate of illnesses, accidents and injuries in the industry, the organization further developed a hazard recognition program. This was greatly supported by the directives and the standards the organization drafted. The organization also set a safety and health program. This mainly depended on the credibility of management’s involvement in the program. This program provided for the inclusion of the employees in the program. The program also provided for the inclusion of the employees in the different decision making processes such as the safety and health decisions. The employees were also to be included in the decisions that involved change in the work site practices and conditions. The program addressed hazards despite failure by the government standard to regulate it (Brain Mass, 2010).

Inspections can also be triggered by a workplace fatality, multiple hospitalizations, worker complaints, or referrals. Enforcement plays an important part in OSHA’s efforts to reduce workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Employers are not given warning before an inspection. When an inspector finds violations OSHA may issue fines or citations. Employers may appeal the fines or citations within 15 days. Tracking and investigating workplace injuries and illnesses play an important role in preventing future injuries and illnesses. Under OSHA’s Recordkeeping regulation, certain covered employers in high hazard industries are required to prepare and maintain records of serious occupational injuries and illnesses. This information is important for employers, workers and OSHA in evaluating the safety of a workplace, understanding industry hazards, and implementing worker protections to reduce and eliminate hazards. OSHA enforces the whistleblower provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. This means anyone who feels the need to inform OSHA of any violations is free from retaliation. .On-site consultation services are available to employers. Consultants from state agencies or universities work with employers to identify workplace hazards, provide advice on compliance with OSHA standards, and assist in establishing safety and health management programs. OSHA also provides compliance assistance

Records and statistics will be evaluated by inspection and investigation reports, workers orientations logs, equipment and logbooks, emergency response plans (drills, enforced safety, first aid), supervisory notes, and safety contacts (past and present) The reasoning to evaluate these areas is to ensure due diligence. This ensures the employer is taking responsibility for workers and strives to conserve a safe working environment.

This process is when a safety professional is sent to your workplace to determine if management is aware of hazards and safety going on in the workplace. To start off the inspection process, companies will be notified that a compliance inspection is scheduled for them. When the safety professional gets there they will start off with a conference. Following that the inspector is introduced too supervisors and management. Then company personnel will tag alongside of the inspector to escort him around. The inspector will be observing workers and how they do their job. There’s a chance he’ll talk to workers about their point of view of the jobsite safety. He is going to look through past records to see accident or investigation reports. After he is complete with his inspection then they will have closing conference. In the closing conference the company’s violations and appeal rights are discussed. What can’t be discussed are penalties because that is the area director’s job. If safety is taken seriously and all hazards are dealt with then the inspection should go

The Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Code and Alpine Construction Policies both indicate that the employer is responsible for the identification, assessment, elimination or control of hazards in the workplace. Hazard Identification, Assessment and Control is critical to the success and effectiveness of any OH&S program. This program specifies requirements for the elimination of OH&S hazards and for the control of risk associated with the remaining hazards that cannot be eliminated.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) introduced five core competencies for healthcare professionals, to improve the United States healthcare system: provide patient-centered care, work in interdisciplinary teams, employ evidence-based practice, apply quality improvement, and utilize informatics (Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, 2003). IOM insists that should all five competencies are met, quality patient care can be achieved. Thus, healthcare organizations need to continually seek quality improvement in order to enhance patient care. The organization need to revamp their current charting system, in order to improve patient care.

Brief surveys are conducted on a regular basis by the customer service department to ensure quality is consistent throughout the organization. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) conducts audits of all manufacturing sites to ensure the proper goods manufacturing practices are followed. The FDA also reviews all standard operating procedures (SOPs) relating to product manufacturing and handling.

Occupational health and safety (OHS) in the workplace requires an effective systematic approach with strategies to control and monitor OHS risks and which is consistent with relevant OHS legislative requirements.
