Corrective Action Plan __________________________________________________________________________________________

This “Corrective Action Plan” shall be used to summarize all facility non-compliances and observations and to

document a corrective action plan that both the auditor and facility management believe is reasonable to ensure

compliance, realignment and continuous adherence to WRAP’s Principles and local/national laws.


Document all non-compliances and observations individually on the form below, prior to the closing

meeting and use the form as an agenda during the closing meeting;

During the closing meeting, ensure that management understands the findings;

Management shall come up with its own corrective actions for all non-compliances and observations;

Each non-compliance must be rated as follows:

Major

Systematic violations of local/national law and/or WRAP Principles, and/or any health and

safety condition that might pose significant risk to workers’ basic rights and/or safety

Failure of management systems, including excessive minor non-compliances that reveal an

underlying dysfunction

Note: If there are several minor non-compliances against the same Principle, it may warrant

a major non-compliance on internal monitoring (i.e. Q1.4)

Non-transparency

Issues that require on-site verification, especially those that can only be fully validated with

worker interviews and/or addressed through worker training

Failure of addressing, within the projected completion date, non-compliances raised during

the initial/follow-up audits in this audit cycle

Minor

Occasional or isolated violations of local/national law and/or WRAP Principles that do not

seriously compromise workers’ basic rights and/or safety

Non-compliances that do not require onsite verification, worker interviews and/or worker

training

Minor situations that do not affect a large number of workers

Observation

Currently not a non-compliance but could potentially become one if timely actions are not

taken (internal monitoring can help identify such issues); for example, certificates/permits that

are valid during the audit but look set to expire in the near future with no indication that the

facility has taken the steps necessary to ensure timely renewal. In addition, under certain

circumstances (outlined in detail under WRAP Principle 6), excessive working hours will also

be noted as an observation (instead of a non-compliance)


Please document only one non-compliance/observation per row.
