Excellent job on adding extra hand sinks! Provide applicable fact sheets to operator regarding observed Priority Items. Discussed implementing a Risk Control Plan (RCP) in order to obtain active managerial control over repeated Priority Items. Advised operator I was available to assist with developing the RCP. A follow up inspection will be performed within 10 days to verify compliance of all critical item violations.
