safety inspections
Hazard review procedures
Safety inspections are formal examinations to identify hazards and ensure compliance with regulations.
Buildings, vehicles, workplaces, and equipment undergo safety inspections at regular intervals or after incidents.
The restaurant failed its safety inspection due to fire code violations.
The term implies official authority—a landlord checking smoke detectors is less likely to call it a safety inspection than a city inspector doing the same.
