This corrective and preventive action report template is free to use, easily editable and makes completing and approving corrective and preventive actions simple and quick.

A corrective and preventive action report outlines the work or process improvements required to eliminate a particular defect/set of defects and reduce the likelihood of non-conformities and other undesirable outcomes happening in the future.

The purpose of a corrective and preventive action report is two-fold:

Corrective - To simply rectify  or 'correct' a problem or defect encountered on a project, typically issued by a contractor

Preventive - To prevent the above problem or defect or proactively recognise and seek to prevent a problem which has not resulted in a defect (yet), typically issued by a contractor who sees the potential for subcontractor problems or demanded by the subcontractor who and see potential problems arising form the approach or processes of the contractor.

Corrective and preventive actions reports are incredibly important companies working in the industries - and the success of projects.

They serve as a diplomatic means and mutually beneficial mechanism for solving problems, and help all companies improve the way they work and the quality of their work by helping them avoid making the same (preventable) mistakes.

This corrective and preventive action report gives you tighter controls over how you complete, approve and share reports - helping reduce admin time, stay organised, and look professional.
