What type of inspection is conducted following a workplace fatality or serious accident?

The correct choice for inspections conducted following a workplace fatality or serious accident is the Fatality or Accidents Inspection. This type of inspection is specifically designed to investigate the circumstances surrounding a fatality or a serious incident, focusing on identifying the causes, areas of non-compliance, and potential hazards that contributed to the event.

This inspection aims to ensure that employers are held accountable for maintaining a safe working environment and to prevent future incidents by recognizing unsafe practices or conditions. Regulatory agencies typically prioritize these inspections to address any immediate risks and enforce safety standards effectively.

In contrast, programmed inspections are routine checks based on specific criteria, general compliance inspections assess adherence to established regulations without the specific context of an accident, and complaint inspections arise from individual complaints about safety issues rather than direct incidents. Each of these has a different focus and does not specifically target the aftermath of a fatality or serious injury incident like the Fatality or Accidents Inspection does.
