Frequency of monitoring and inspections

This will depend on the level of risk and any statutory inspection requirement. Directors may be expected to examine the premises formally at an annual audit, while site supervisors may be expected to carry out inspection each week. Senior managers should regularly monitor the health and safety plan to ensure that objectives are being met and to make any changes to the plan as necessary. 

Data from reactive monitoring should be considered by senior managers at least once a month. In most organizations serious events would be closely monitored as they happen.
