# Safety Inspection Workflow

## Overview
End-to-end execution of safety inspections including planning, preparation, execution, findings documentation, corrective action tracking, and follow-up for construction sites. Primary agent: Inspection & Audit Specialist.

## Triggers
- Scheduled periodic inspection (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Specific area or activity inspection required
- Safety event triggers additional inspection
- Management request for targeted inspection

## Prerequisites
- Inspection area or scope defined
- Inspection checklist available
- Qualified inspector assigned
- Previous inspection findings available for reference

## Steps

### Step 1: Inspection Planning
Define inspection scope and requirements:
- **Scope** → Area, activity, or equipment to inspect
- **Type** → General safety, fire safety, scaffolding, lifting equipment, electrical, excavation
- **Frequency** → Based on risk level and regulatory requirements
- **Inspector** → Qualified inspector assigned
- **Checklist** → Appropriate checklist selected

### Step 2: Inspection Preparation
Prepare for site inspection:
- Review previous inspection findings and status
- Gather required inspection equipment
- Brief inspection team on scope and objectives
- Notify site management of inspection

### Step 3: Inspection Execution
Conduct systematic inspection:
- Follow inspection checklist systematically
- Document observations with photographs where required
- Record compliance and non-compliance findings
- Interview workers on safety practices where applicable
- Review permits and documentation on site

### Step 4: Findings Classification
Classify each finding:
- **Compliant** → Meets safety requirements
- **Minor non-conformance** → Deficiency requiring correction but no immediate danger
- **Major non-conformance** → Significant deficiency requiring immediate action
- **Imminent danger** → Stop work required until condition corrected

### Step 5: Inspection Report Generation
Document inspection results:
- Complete inspection report with all findings
- Include photographs and evidence
- Assign corrective actions with responsible persons and due dates
- Distribute report to stakeholders

### Step 6: Corrective Action Tracking
- Log all corrective actions from inspection
- Track completion status
- Escalate overdue actions
- Verify corrective action effectiveness
- Close inspection when all actions complete

## Success Criteria
- All checklist items inspected and documented
- Findings accurately classified
- Corrective actions assigned with clear responsibilities and due dates
- Inspection report distributed to stakeholders
- All corrective actions tracked to closure

## Common Pitfalls
1. **Incomplete checklist coverage** → Skip items or areas during inspection
2. **Inadequate evidence** → Missing photographs or specific descriptions for findings
3. **Poor classification** → Under-classifying serious hazards or over-classifying minor issues
4. **Missing follow-up** → Corrective actions assigned but not verified
