What must an employer receive to use an Action Plan in place of a maintenance audit?

An employer must receive approval from the ACSA COR department to use an Action Plan in place of a maintenance audit because this department is responsible for overseeing compliance with safety standards and best practices. By securing this approval, the employer demonstrates that their proposed Action Plan meets the necessary criteria for safety and effectiveness, ensuring that it is a viable alternative to a traditional maintenance audit.

The ACSA COR department's role includes evaluating and validating safety measures, making their approval critical before implementing any changes that may affect overall safety management protocols. Without this endorsement, the employer may not be able to adequately demonstrate that their proposed strategies are sufficient substitutes for a maintenance audit, which serves to ensure ongoing compliance and safety in operational practices.
