What is a site safety evaluation? It is a comprehensive inspection, review, and report on the general infrastructure and exterior elements of a commercial building. You may be familiar with a Building Condition Assessment, which looks at elements such as fixtures, finishes, HVAC, and flooring. A site safety evaluation includes looking at the general structural components such as spacing, as well as other elements that would affect the safety of your employees. The goal of a site safety evaluation is to identify hazards before they are discovered through an accident, in order to ensure the highest level of safety for your employees and your business.
In assessing the safety of a building, a few key things we look for include:
- Emergency exit plans
- Emergency lighting
- Exit access
- Fire/smoke detection systems
- Fire extinguisher locations/inspections
- Emergency notification plans
- Electrical hazards
- Waste storage
- General housekeeping/storage
Every company should have a site safety evaluation done because keeping your employees safe is of the utmost priority.
