Preventive Action refers to the proactive steps taken to identify and eliminate potential causes of non-conformances, incidents, or hazards before they occur.
Unlike corrective actions, which address issues after they’ve happened, preventive actions aim to foresee and mitigate risks early in the process.
These measures may include conducting risk assessments, improving training, updating procedures, or implementing new controls based on observed trends or audit findings.
Within the myosh platform, organisations can document, assign, and monitor preventive actions to ensure accountability and continuous improvement.
Implementing effective preventive actions helps reduce operational disruptions, improve safety performance, and demonstrate a commitment to proactive risk management.
