VSP 2018 Operations Manual
13.18 Corrective-Action Statement
13.18.1 Introduction
13.18.1.1 Purpose
VSP established a procedure for postinspection reporting of corrective
actions to encourage the correction of deficiencies noted during an
inspection. A signed corrective action statement will not affect the
inspection score.
13.18.1.2 Critical Item Monitoring
The corrective-action statement, particularly for CRITICAL ITEMS,
should include a management monitoring plan to ensure that the procedure
or process that was out of control will be monitored and controlled in the
future. The public health goal of the inspection is to prevent the recurrence
of the critical deficiency in the specific instance where it was found and
generally in future similar operations aboard the vessel.
13.18.1.3 Publicly Available
The corrective-action statement will be appended to the final inspection
report for future reference and public distribution via the VSP website.
13.18.1.4 Email Submission
The corrective action statement may be submitted to VSP by electronic
mail. Please send the statement to vsp@cdc.gov; include the vessel name,
corrective-action statement, and inspection date in the message subject
line. Submission as an attached word processing format file is preferable.
13.18.1.5 Mail Submission
The corrective-action statement may also be mailed to the following:
