b.Building specific actions into the operation to control risk factors
c.Assigning one supervisor to sign every temperature log daily
d.Meeting the minimum requirements the local health code sets out
Explanation
Active managerial control is the purposeful incorporation of specific actions or procedures by management into the operation of the business to attain control over foodborne illness risk factors, and it embodies a preventive rather than a reactive approach through continuous monitoring and verification. Fixing what an inspector finds is the reactive posture the definition is written against.
