Frequently asked questions

How often should we run this inspection?

Monthly is the OSHA recommendation for general industry; high-hazard environments (chemical, construction) often run weekly.

Do failed critical items auto-fail the whole inspection?

Yes — items marked critical use auto_fail_on_no, meaning a "no" answer fails the entire audit regardless of overall score.
