Corrective Actions
Close the loop when a check fails.
Failed checks can become tracked corrective actions with severity, owner, due date, evidence and manager sign-off.
A failed check without a follow-up is a risk. Corrective actions turn “something was wrong” into an owned task: severity, who is fixing it, when it is due, and what evidence closed it.
That loop matters for culture as much as compliance — staff see that issues are tracked, not ignored.
What teams can do
Capture issue, immediate action and optional root cause.
Assign owners and due dates so issues do not drift.
Export closed and overdue actions as part of EHO evidence.
Link actions back to the originating check where the workflow supports it.
Who it is for
- Teams that already fail checks but lose the follow-up in chat
- Managers who need overdue issue lists by site
Inspection-ready angle
- Demonstrates that failures were noticed and handled
- Timestamps and ownership support due diligence narratives
Frequently asked questions
Can corrective actions require manager sign-off?
Yes — workflows support ownership and sign-off so closure is deliberate, not informal.
