Site Walks, Hazard Identification & Corrective-Action Tracking
Routine site walks give your team a steady record of conditions between your own inspections. An NSC Enterprises observer walks set routes on a set cadence, logs each hazard with its location and time, reports it to your representatives, and tracks the corrective action until your team confirms it is closed.

In detail
How walks fit your inspection program
OSHA's construction standards make the employer responsible for its safety program, including frequent and regular inspections of job sites, materials and equipment by competent persons the employer designates. NSC Enterprises walks add documented observation alongside those inspections. They do not replace your designated competent persons.
