This means that preventive action is determined during your organisation\u2019s risk assessment process as part of the efforts to implement risk controls to mitigate risks identified from various sources, such as nonconformities that have occurred or possible hazards that are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, your company or organisation can create a procedure that documents the steps and record the result of implementing the preventive actions. The result of how effective the implemented action would be is one of the inputs of management review, which should be done at least once a year by the management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To summarise, preventive action is a proactive plan to prevent the occurrence of nonconformities that have not happened, and some examples include process changes, training plans, internal audits, and maintenance activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What differentiates it from corrective action is that corrective action prevents the recurrence of nonconformities, whereas preventive action prevents the occurrence of nonconformities in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A preventive action process is essential so a company or organisation can meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations. It is also beneficial for the continuous improvement of quality management systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A preventive action plan should include risk analysis and monitoring activity toward the proposed action and its result and should also be adequately documented. Management is responsible for reviewing the impact of the proposed action once it is applied during the management review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
