Description

What are Nonconformities, Corrective and Preventative Actions?

In general terms:

  • A nonconformity is the non-fulfillment of a requirement, where a requirement is a need or expectation that is stated, generally implied or obligatory.
  • A corrective action is an action to eliminate a detected nonconformity and to prevent a recurrence.
  • A preventative action is an action to eliminate the cause of a potential nonconformity or other potential undesirable situation.

A nonconformity means there has been a deviation from a requirement. A corrective action is a specific action that needs to be taken to eliminate the root cause of that nonconformity or other undesirable situation. Nonconformities can occur in any process, product, or service and when they do occur, they should be corrected as soon as possible to prevent them from happening again.

How to Manage a Nonconformity

When a nonconformity is identified, it is important to take quick and effective action to maintain compliance with requirements. Here are a few key steps to effectively manage a nonconformity.

ISO 45001 Nonconformities, Corrective and Preventative Actions Procedure

1. Identify the Nonconformity

When a nonconformity is identified, it is important to take quick action to isolate the nonconformity. This means identifying the affected product, service or area and putting it under control so that the nonconformity does not continue or spread. This may involve stopping production, removing finished products from the affected area, or taking other measures to prevent the nonconformity from spreading.

2. Determine the Root Cause of the Nonconformity

Determining the root cause of nonconformity is critical to ensure that corrective and preventive actions are effective in preventing recurrence. To do this, we need to ask why the nonconformity occurred. This may be done using the ‘Five Whys’ method.

3. Implement Corrective and Preventive Actions to Address the Root Cause of the Nonconformity

Once corrective and/or preventative actions have been agreed upon, action plans should be developed (including the details of who is responsible) for applying the corrective or preventative action(s) and the appropriate timing for completion of such action(s). Allowances should be made for tracking the status of action items until such action is completed.

Note: the records of actions, including the assignment of responsibility and appropriate timeframes should be maintained for a nonconformity. This will allow the tracking of the action status until corrected, closed out and verified as effective.

4. Close Out the Nonconformity

A means of review and close-out should be followed to assess the status of action items. The review should be recorded against the action item for verification purposes.

A conformity report of all action items that remain outstanding after planned completion dates should be presented for discussion at management review meetings.

These reports should be retained as ‘documented information.’ The report should also be signed and dated by the person who was responsible for addressing the issue.
