One of the most effective safety tools a larger institution can employ is periodic peer-level inspections. Usually, the people who fulfill this role work in the organization they serve, but not in the area being surveyed. Individuals may function on an ad hoc basis, or the institution may select specific individuals and confer on them various formal appellations such as "safety committee member." A peer inspection program has the intrinsic advantage of being perceived as less threatening than other forms of surveys or audits.
