Question 24 Review

Select the Best Answer

What is a major weakness inherent in the walkaround safety inspection process?

Incorrect. Try Again!

B, is the correct answer. Does not take enough time. We walk around, look around, ask a few questions in a work area, and then move on. It's not likely, especially when workers know they're being inspected, unsafe behaviors will be uncovered. So, the inspection process may be good at uncovering the causes of 3% of workplace accidents, but not very good at discovering the cause of 95% of workplace accidents.

 

A. Only uncovers hidden behaviors

B. Does not take enough time

C. Does not uncover hazardous
conditions

D. Only looks at observable,
measurable behaviors
