Safety sampling : An active monitoring method
Safety sampling refers to a systematic approach used to assess and monitor potential hazards or risks in a workplace or hazardous environment.
It involves the periodic collection of data through observations or inspections to identify unsafe acts, conditions, or deficiencies that could lead to accidents or injuries.
Safety sampling can be conducted through various methods such as random sampling, continuous sampling, or active monitoring.
- It is a regular random exercise in which unsafe acts and conditions are noted and recorded. (e.g. mistakes, violations , deficiencies, breaches, Non-compliances etc.)
- The workplace is divided into routes , which assigned observers walk in an allotted time scale, noting incidence of H&S defects on pre-prepared safety sampling sheet.
- The safety sampling sheets include tables of grouped and coded retrospective and prospective unsafe conditions and practices.
- Observers should report serious defects or hazards immediately.
- The number of non-compliance is then converted to provide a score of overall effectiveness of the safety performance.
Advantages :
- Representative sample to judge compliance.
- Less time-consuming,
- Low Cost , Save resources
- The other benefits are same like Active monitoring and Safety Inspections
