regular basis. These items are outlined
within the ES&H

require fire extinguisher, eyewash station, and emergency shower inspections. Safety Wardens
are tasked with inspecting and documenting these inspections. Other inspection requirements are assigned to
a Safety
Warden by the appropriate line managers.
