9.4 COMMUNICATION AND CORRECTIVE ACTION<br />
PLANS<br />
Corrective action plans outline the steps family and staff should take to correct problems<br />
that may occur. Corrective action plans should contain detailed instructions and contact<br />
numbers.<br />
To prepare for an emergency situation, you must have written corrective action plans on<br />
how to communicate and address the following situations. The Workbook contains a<br />
sample form (Record 16).<br />
9.4.1 Medicines and Chemicals Used on Livestock:<br />
You must have a written corrective action plan for incorrect administration of<br />
medications or other chemicals to an animal. Some possible actions are:<br />
• Call a veterinarian to discuss withdrawal times and possible residue concerns.<br />
• Call provincial regulatory authority for assistance.<br />
• Use appropriate test kit to check for residues.<br />
• If milk is unmarketable, dump the milk in an environmentally acceptable manner.<br />
• Review and revise SOP control measures to avoid a reoccurrence.<br />
Reminder: All problems that occur regarding animal treatments and the<br />
corrective actions taken must be recorded on Record 17 in the Workbook.<br />
