Elevate an Audit Finding to a Task

CONTENTS: • BRINGING UP THE UNSATISFACTORY AUDIT ANSWER • ASSIGNING THE TASK

INTRODUCTION:

Not all findings discovered during routine Audits require a formal course of Corrective Action. But when they do, the issue is documented. When someone is Assigned to undertake that Corrective Action by a due date, it is now considered a Task in the Safety Indicators system.

STEP 1

  1. In the left menu, click Tasks
  2. Click the large icon in the Audits card
  3. From the list of current Audits, find and double-click the relevant item to open it

NEED TO KNOW:
•  Note that the list may have more than one page; use the page navigation tools at bottom left.
•  If needed to narrow down the list, use the Filters function at upper left, or the Search box at upper right. 


STEP 2

  1. In the left menu, click Questions.
  2. Find the question with the unsatisfactory Audit Response and select it with just one click.
