Do walking-working surface inspections need to be documented?

RegSenseSafety & HealthGeneral Industry SafetyWalking Working SurfacesBest ResultsOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), DOLFAQWalking Working Surface InspectionsWalking Working SurfacesEnglishFocus AreaUSA

Documentation is not required for walking-working surface inspections, but it would be considered a best practice to ensure that they are being done at the required frequency.

Documentation also:

  • Serves as a record of the company’s compliance with applicable regulations,
  • Allows your company to trace the history of a hazard(s),
  • Helps identify trends (i.e., leading indicators) that could result in non-compliance if not corrected, and
  • Aids in post-accident investigations.

Did You Know

Leading indicators are proactive, preventive, and predictive measures that provide information about the effective performance of your safety and health activities. They measure events leading up to injuries, illnesses, and other incidents and reveal potential problems in your safety and health program. In contrast, lagging indicators measure the occurrence and frequency of events that occurred in the past, such as the number or rate of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
