A summary of the inspection reports should be noted in the minutes of the local safety committee meeting. Just as important as the inspection itself is confirmation that corrective action has been taken. Responses can be appended to committee meeting minutes. For the sake of efficiency, committees will want to establish a tracking system to ensure that all areas of the workplace are inspected yearly, reports filed, and corrective actions confirmed. Keeping records in a binder which can be given to succeeding committee members is one simple method.
Inspections are just one of several important functions of local safety committees.
