Qualified safety and health specialists shall perform inspections for high-risk workplaces and projects.

The following is an excerpt from Forest Service Handbook 7309.11, Section 44—Inspections:

44.2—Safety and Health Inspections. Inspect more frequently facilities that house increased-risk operations, as described in 29 CFR 1960.25(c), and specific high-hazard situations. Intensity of inspection shall be commensurate with the risk involved (FSM 6700). Report deficiencies as required in FSM 6700.

The Regional Staff Director for engineering activities or the Assistant Director for Administration and the Region or Station Safety and Health Manager jointly determine the frequency and intensity of inspections.
