Posted By Neil Pearson I'm trying to create a checklist of all statutory & good practice inspections & testing. So far off the top of my head I have the following: Legionella hazards; Power presses; Scaffolds (including towers); Excavations; Pressure systems; LEV; Portable appliances & fixed wiring; Equipment safety devices & controls; Mobile equipment (including fork trucks); First-aid materials; Asbestos materials; PPE/RPE (& face fit); Lifting equipment; Steam systems; Behaviour; Work & workplaces; Fire precautions (see separate list); Radioactive substances; Exposure to agents Can you people help me add to the list? I'm bound to have left out loads of important stuff.

Posted By Neil Pearson Thanks for the responses. The aim is to get together a generic list for use in auditing. I was thinking of specific inspection/testing requirements that one would expect to see records of, rather than all H&S issues. For example, I would not include glazing in this particular list (thanks for the suggestion though) as it is not normally a specific item one would expect inspection or test records for. That would be more in the way of a general workplace monitoring regime. I will email a completed list to anyone responding to this thread or expressing an interest - this should help us all, I think. In the meantime, please keep the suggestions coming!

Posted By Stephen Ashton Neil, to repeat David Bristow's earlier comment - it all depends on the industry you're in... e.g. healthcare - water temperature / radiator surface temperature, (+ patient records?) etc.... food premises - refrigerator records , food temp records rail / nuclear / leisure rides / solaria...... The records required depend on the 'standards' applicable - whether defined in legislation, acops, BS/ISO, industry standards (NHS / Rail Group / NICEEIC), Company Standards / Group Standards etc etc. Good luck, but I suspect you're trying to paint the Forth Bridge.....it's an endless task, since the first bit will need re-doing by the time you've got to the end.... And if you don't want 'general H&S issues' - where have you drawn your lines when you include 'work/workplace' and 'behaviour' - neither of which have nationally recognised inspection / test standards that I am aware of (unless you are in a very specific industry sector???

Posted By Neil Pearson I completely agree, this is a badly-defined idea. I know what I want, but it's hard to express exactly. Anyway, you've all given me some ideas, so thanks for that.
