  • Whether proper equipment and materials are being used for execution
  • Proper work safety process to be checked
  • The work progress shall be checked against the approved work  schedule.

All points as above  shall be  mentioned in the contract  and authority of the inspector shall be  indicated in the contract to ensure compliance.

     During the inspection I think we need to check if all the HSE requirements are done and implemented in the work place or not.

    Besides the training effeciency, we check if the staff understand what they have learned during the safety meeting and the daily TBT.

     We need also to listen to and understand the workers' opinion in each work place to know if the communication between managers and the operators and other workers is good or not.

     After that we can have an idea about how the process is working.

Most important thing to be inspected in Site inspection is scope(type of service and area)  of inspection with respect to Approved shop drawing, Approved method statement ,Approved checklist , Approved material, Approved HSE risk assessment  and as per project specification & relevant international standard. 

 

In addition to this the importance/level of inspection increases as per type of inspection for eg.. Installation inspection or Testing inspection.

My point of view the safety is the first to check, because it is directly proportional of the quality of work.
