Defining Violation Types

To assess and mitigate risk and to evaluate compliance problems, Compliance Managers can track compliance violations by regulation, program, requirement, and location. You can define violation types to help locate and report on violations.

Compliance Managers can associate the violation types you define with violations to better track and analyze them. For example, the Compliance Violations operational report, and the Compliance Violations Map (management report) can be generated by Violation Type.

Examples of violation types are Documentation, Expired License, Expired Permit, Training, Building Code, Sewer Discharge, Hazardous Chemicals, Zoning, and Fire Code.
