Corrective Action is a structured process used to identify, eliminate, and prevent the recurrence of non-conformances, safety incidents, or other undesirable situations in the workplace.
It involves investigating the root cause of the issue, implementing targeted solutions, and monitoring their effectiveness over time. Corrective actions go beyond immediate fixes by addressing underlying factors, such as procedural gaps, human errors, or system failures, to ensure long-term improvement.
This approach is essential for maintaining compliance with safety standards, reducing risks, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Effective corrective action includes documentation, follow-up evaluations, and continuous improvement to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
