Workplace Inspections and Hazards
Annual Workplace Inspections
Annual workplace inspections take place at the Alberta School of Business every December and June. To ensure that all parts of the building have been inspected, the building is divided into areas with staff responsible for particular areas. During each inspection, groups must fill out an inspection form that identifies any hazards or deficiencies.
