The Safety Audit
Podojil & Associates Inc. safeguarding audit method makes it possible for
Podojil & Associates Inc. personnel to conduct a consistent and thorough risk
assessment of potential risk hazards in our client’s locations. Only Podojil &
Associates Inc. offers your company, University, Secondary school(s) or
Technical Education workshop a comprehensive program for conducting safety,
health, and environmental audits.
For example, an effective machine guarding safety program starts with a
thorough analysis of the complete program. Our consultants will review the
written safety program, preventive maintenance program, owners / operators
manuals, training records, safety placards, job safety & health analysis (JSHA)
and other pertinent documents to ensure that they are in regulatory compliance
and are complete in wording and most importantly are the latest addition.
The next step in our process is a complete safety & health inspection of the
machinery. Our consultants will identify potential machine hazards which
includes point of operation hazards, electrical, Lockout & Tagout (LOTO)
disconnects, mechanical and non-mechanical hazards such as walking / working
surfaces, ergonomics, anchoring of machinery and other similar hazards located
around the machine area.
Next, we prioritize the physical guarding requirements based on a combination
of multiple predictable injury factors and the probability of occurrence. Using
the most recognized American National Standards for Risk reduction, each hazard
is independently evaluated, photographed and then risk values are assigned to
these factors.
This audit is conducted in accordance with a carefully designed process for
collecting and recording a comprehensive and accurate summary of machine
conditions relative to applicable OSHA standards and other regulations. Present
machine conditions are photographed and make, model, property, and serial
numbers of each machine are obtained and documented in the report. This
documentation process allows our client to ensure that they have a complete
machine inventory of their equipment located on a particular site.
Using the comprehensive machine survey guides, each report outlines the
hazards seen, the correct work-around procedure that must be taken to safely
protect the employee until corrective action is taken.
The report identifies safety or health hazards and provides relevant
regulatory justification following OSHA, National Fire Protection Associations,
(NFPA), National Electric Code (NEC), Canadian & Provincial safety regulations
and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) codes.
In addition to the written documentation, our safety professionals will
review these reports in person or via phone to ensure that the client has a
clear understanding of all hazards identified during their survey and ensure
that the client also understands the recommendations proposed by the consultant
in their report.
We are your “one stop shop” for compliance issues and safety but more
importantly our consultants are known as the nations leading authority on
machine safeguarding!
