Inspection is most important in construction workplaces. Construction workplace safety inspections are done on a regular basis by a construction manager. These inspections will cause delay of the project, but are very important to protect the workers from accidents.
Manager should identify the problems at workplaces, should check the machines working conditions, assess and determine the degree of compliance, explain about health and safety program and many other activities which ensure smooth progress of the project.
