Sample Inspection Report
Inspection Report on areas of specific risk on site.
Introduction:
Write an introduction, overview of the site itself. Describe briefly ‘why’ the inspection was done to
evaluate the current risks on site, and to suggest control measures that can be put in place for work to
return to “specific areas”.
In this introduction, you can also add the basic site details:
Address:
Inspector: your name
Date:
Etc.

Specific Hazards and control measures:
I’m often asked, “how many”, and there’s no real answer to that. It won’t be just the four headings here,
its more likely to be 10 to 12 items at least, but it will depend on the job inspected. All jobs at any time
have a range of issues, that’s why we inspect and monitor them for safety. So, while your inspecting,
look for minor things like slip hazards and trips and falls, all the way up to hand rails missing, exposed
excavations, voids un-covered, etc. If you only find two or three, then keep looking. Even glance at some
tools, if your able to, are they tagged?
Below is simply how to set the format out.
Add photos for reference here / or under each
Hazard 1 – name it
Describe the hazard and what control measures need to be implemented.
Hazard 2 – name it
Describe the hazard and what control measures need to be implemented.
Hazard 3 – name it
Describe the hazard and what control measures need to be implemented.
Hazard 4 – name it
Describe the hazard and what control measures need to be implemented.
etc
remember there will be a lot more than four, keep looking.
Relative Parties consulted:
Use R B Holdings personal if you wish, but its better if you actually speak to relative people, as per list in
the last item.
For this section, just write a brief paragraph to the likes of. After inspecting the site and / or during the
inspection, I was able to consult with a range of industry experts and personnel to assist with my
recommendations. These people have been listed in the section below:
Evidence of consultation:
This is just a summary of who you consulted with, so a list of names and their industry or reason for
consultation. For the exercise it is worth discussing with others, even your boss, a foreperson on site,
other tradespeople. Then simply list them like below:
Fred smith
Foreperson smith constructions
Joe Brown
Carpenter consulted re roof work inspected
Lisa Thompson
Scaffolder consulted, re missing handrails on site
Etc.
Additional recommendation’s for site:
Add any additional thoughts on ongoing work, based on what you’ve seen. Possible re-inspection of the
site at a future date, any de-watered if there were flooded areas for example, ongoing reports,
appointment of safety officer if not in place, ongoing use of specific forms, SWMS, etc. ……?
