Inspection Results
The inspection history you have selected is displayed below under Inspection Details." Each inspection may have zero or more critical violations. A description of critical violations is displayed by clicking on the specific inspection type.
What are Critical Violations? Critical violations which, if left uncorrected, are more likely than other violations to directly contribute to illness or disease. Registered Sanitarians work with operators to make sure that critical violations are corrected before they leave the establishment. A Registered Sanitarian will return for a follow-up inspection to make sure that all critical violations have been corrected. Critical violations posted on the inspection form represent conditions found during the actual inspection. The facility's present condition may be very different.
