Monitor Conditions of Work
As the supervisor, it is your responsibility to conduct regular monitoring of tasks and activities to ensure that any changes in conditions are identified and responded to quickly.

For your inspections and monitoring activities to be effective you will need a thorough knowledge of worksite procedures. These will include all relevant workplace operating procedures, work instructions and temporary instructions.

All of these requirements are in place to ensure your worksite complies with the designated regulations and legislation.

It is important to make sure that the codes and standards you refer to are the most current versions as approved by state and federal government.

All changes must be responded to in accordance with the procedures for your site and the permit conditions.

You must ensure the work permit remains current and valid. Changes to work conditions (such as the identification of new hazards) or a failure to follow permit conditions may mean that the permit becomes invalid and will have to be revoked before the work has been completed.

You should check that:
• Problems are being anticipated and efficiently resolved.
• Changing conditions and circumstances are being responded to appropriately and effectively.
• The performance of monitoring and testing equipment is checked against a standard sample. If work stops for a certain period of time (e.g. over an hour) the workspace will need to be tested again.

In inspecting the work area you may also be supervising workers and monitoring their activities for compliance with site procedures.
