UQSafe is the sytem used to manage HSW inspections and checklists.

Checklists can be used to conduct workplace inspections, track activites in a process, monitor compliance and create tasks for actions to be done.

Who does this process apply to?

Inspectors: This user guide is for those staff who will be completing inspection checklists within UQSafe to support workplace inspection programs for their organisation unit.

Add an action

Actions can be added to checklists to allocate tasks for people. Not all checklists have actions. Some checklists will let you add actions to be taken (self-managed checklists) and others will be sent to someone else to add actions, if they’re needed (managed checklists).
