SAFETY INSPECTOR (I15)

Public employees in New Jersey are covered by a State occupational safety programme rather than by federal enforcement directly, and inspectors carry it into schools, garages, treatment plants, firehouses and county buildings.

What an inspection looks for depends on the site: machine guarding in a shop, confined space entry at a pump station, respiratory protection in a laboratory, fall protection on a roof. A serious finding produces an order to abate with a date on it.
