When inspections reveal deficiencies in employee performance, what action must be taken?

The correct action to take when inspections reveal deficiencies in employee performance is to provide retraining to reestablish proficiency. This approach ensures employees understand the necessary procedures and safety practices, particularly in critical areas such as Lockout/Tagout (LOTO). Retraining serves to reinforce skills, correct shortcomings, and enhance overall workplace safety and compliance with OSHA standards. It promotes a culture of continuous improvement and ensures that employees are adequately prepared to handle hazardous situations safely.

This approach also aligns with best practices in occupational safety and health management, emphasizing the importance of training and competency to prevent accidents and injuries. Providing retraining not only addresses specific performance issues but also demonstrates a commitment to employee development and safety.
