Follow-up with the Manager

Once the inspection is completed, a process that takes about an hour, the results are analyzed to help prepare an "action plan" for the manager of the establishment when violations are found. The inspector explains the violations, and makes certain the manager understands what corrective action must be taken to be in compliance with the law. Non-critical violations must be corrected by the next routine inspection. The inspector asks the operator to review and sign the inspection report.

If critical violations are found, the inspector advises the manager he will return sooner to ensure that the violations have been corrected. If they are not, warnings of disciplinary action will ensue. If the uncorrected problems could pose an immediate threat to public health and safety, an emergency closure could be ordered.
