Site Inspection

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requires all employers to have suitable arrangements in place to be able to manage risks to their employees and others that may be affected by their undertakings.

“Carrying out site inspections throughout a project is essential to ensure that your health and safety arrangements remain effective and successful.”

Our experienced health and safety consultants can provide you with the support that you need through independent, impartial site inspections. Regardless of whether you are a Principal Contractor or a Contractor, we will provide you with a snapshot of on-site performance and conditions helping you to identify gaps, make improvements, and most importantly, give you confidence that you are compliant. A good standard of site inspections will highlight the importance of having a good safety culture and can assist with cost reduction.

As a part of our inspection, we will highlight good practices as well as make recommendations (where possible) as to how you can implement changes to improve. Our site inspections include an electronic report written on completion.

Please connect with us so one of our consultants can contact you to discuss ways in which we can help.

FAQS ON SITE INSPECTION

A site inspection refers to a thorough assessment of a construction or project site to evaluate its conditions, safety standards, and compliance with regulations. Our experienced health and safety consultants conduct site inspections to ensure that health and safety arrangements are effective and that your project is on track. Our inspections help identify risks, recommend improvements, and ensure overall compliance.

An onsite inspection is a detailed evaluation performed directly at the location of the project or site. TCC’s onsite inspections provide an in-depth look at the conditions, safety measures, and operational performance. We give you a snapshot of how things are progressing, highlighting any potential risks or areas for improvement to ensure safety and compliance throughout the project.

We conduct site inspections by first assessing the project site to ensure that all health and safety protocols are followed. Our consultants walk through the site, evaluating the conditions, risks, and safety practices in place. We then provide a comprehensive report, highlighting areas that are well-managed and suggesting improvements for any gaps or safety concerns identified. Our goal is to give you confidence that the project is compliant and on track.

The four types of quality inspections typically include:

    1. Incoming Inspection: Assessing materials and products before they are used on-site.
    2. In-Process Inspection: Evaluating work and processes as they are being carried out on the site.
    3. Final Inspection: Reviewing the completed work to ensure it meets all standards and specifications.
    4. Routine Inspection: Ongoing checks to ensure consistent quality throughout the project lifecycle.

We incorporate these types of inspections into our overall site management approach to ensure quality, safety, and compliance at every stage.

A site inspector is a professional responsible for inspecting and assessing a construction site to ensure it meets legal, safety, and quality standards. Our site inspectors focus on identifying potential risks to ensure compliance with regulations, and offering suggestions to improve safety practices. They help keep the project on track and minimise risks to workers and the surrounding environment.

The three main types of inspections include:

    1. Pre-Construction Inspection: Evaluating the site before the project begins to identify potential hazards or issues.
    2. Ongoing Inspections: Regular checks during the project to ensure safety, quality, and compliance.
    3. Post-Construction Inspection: A final inspection to ensure the completed project meets all requirements.

We perform all these inspections to ensure your project runs smoothly and safely from start to finish.

The 4 P’s of safety inspections are:

    1. Place: Assessing the physical environment and site conditions.
    2. People: Ensuring workers are following safety procedures and using the correct personal protective equipment (PPE).
    3. Process: Evaluating the procedures being followed to ensure they meet safety standards.
    4. Product: Checking the materials and equipment being used on the site to ensure they’re safe and suitable for the task.

Our site inspections focus on these four key areas to ensure comprehensive safety management throughout the project.

The five basic types of inspection methods include:

    1. Visual Inspection: A direct, observational check to ensure compliance and identify hazards.
    2. Testing: Using tools or equipment to test materials, products, or systems.
    3. Measurement: Taking precise measurements to confirm that the work meets required specifications.
    4. Audit: Reviewing records, documents, and procedures for compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
    5. Interview: Speaking with workers or supervisors to understand practices and safety awareness.

We utilise all these methods to ensure that your site meets the highest standards of safety and quality.

The three types of Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections are:

    1. Routine Inspections: Regular inspections to monitor ongoing compliance.
    2. Responsive Inspections: Inspections conducted in response to a specific concern or incident.
    3. Specialist Inspections: Focused assessments to evaluate specific aspects of care or service delivery.

While our primary focus is on construction and health & safety, we incorporate similar approaches to our inspections to ensure regulatory compliance and safety.

The standard inspection procedure generally involves planning the inspection, assessing the site or project conditions, documenting findings, and providing a detailed report. We follow a structured process that includes:

    1. Initial site assessment and risk identification.
    2. Ongoing monitoring and safety checks.
    3. Reporting findings to relevant stakeholders.
    4. Providing actionable recommendations for improvement. This ensures the site remains compliant, safe, and well-managed throughout the project lifecycle.
