What an inspection involves
An inspection can request evidence the channel exists, is accessible to all employees, and that reports received have been handled within the statutory timeframes.
Typical cost
Ranges from a low-cost internal mailbox-and-process setup to a paid third-party reporting platform; the legal requirement is the process guarantees (confidentiality, non-retaliation, response deadlines), not any specific tool.
