Inspections can be a little scary, and so it’s important to be well prepared. This training covers the inspection process so you and your staff know what to expect. We cover the specifics of what an inspector will look for and can conduct a workshop session to assess inspection readiness and conduct a gap analysis so you can identify where additional documentation and training might be needed.
We can also look at what happens after the inspection. How to develop corrective and preventative actions and provide a complete inspection response.
