2. B 3-1 Inspections Main Question: How do you carry out inspections?
Choice of topics depends on the type of company you’re visiting. For example,
Some topics for every site – management of change, competence
Small sites vs. large sites – different questions
Extremely useful to have other authorities for some sites\
E.g., production sites - labour authority
For large company, start with headquarters and then do spotchecks of other sites to see if they are consistent
Difficult often to inspect SMS – inspectors have to connect the dots more
Attitude tends to be code-based rather than SMS
Differences between pyrotechnics and explosives
Pyrotechnics – low profits, high turnover
Inspect pyrotechnics during season peaks
