What do I have to check?

In your check proceed in the following 3 stages:

1. Implementation check
   Check whether the measures stipulated have been implemented on schedule by those delegated to do so.
2. Effectiveness check
   Check whether the required goal has been achieved and the hazard has actually been eliminated. Alongside the formal confirmation endorsement in the documentation that the deadline set has been met, the effectiveness of the measure must be checked (for example, follow-up measurements). Check whether new or different hazards have arisen as a result of the measures.
3. Preservation check
   Check whether the state that has been achieved is preserved or whether further measures may become necessary.

A person with responsibility for the check must be laid down. Record the result of the check in writing.

When do I have to check?

Check the implementation and effectiveness of the measures immediately after the agreed date and then continuously at fixed intervals.

Often it is necessary to observe the effectiveness of a measure over an extended period, for example with respect to the improvement of worker satisfaction, the lowering of sickness rates, the sensitisation and motivation of the management personnel and/or improved customer satisfaction.

What should I do if a hazard has not been completely eliminated?

First determine the reason why this hazard is still present. Revise and supplement and measures for the elimination of the hazard and restipulate them. Finally make sure that the measures taken have been effective.
