At the end of an inspection, the inspector hands the manager a written report listing violations. What should the manager do with it?
Explanation
The inspection report is the official record of what was found; the manager should review it with the inspector, acknowledge receipt (signing generally means receipt, not agreement, so a signature concedes no legal fault), and then correct each violation within the timeframe the report specifies. Following up and documenting corrections is central to the manager's post-inspection role. The department's archived duplicate is not a substitute for acting on the copy handed to you, and hanging that copy up and waiting for the next routine visit leaves the cited violations uncorrected.
