Supervisors are now expected to inspect their own work areas, not less than quarterly.

The Chair of the Department is responsible for ensuring that supervisors inspect their areas. The supervisors should use Standard Inspection Checklists put out by EOHSS. Supervisors should keep these checklists for their records.
