Answer 1

The correct action to bring the facility back into compliance is D.) Have departments in violation submit their action plans to senior management

Step-by-step explanation:

To bring the facility back into compliance with the requirement that managers complete an investigation within 24 hours of an employee injury, the correct action would be to have departments in violation submit their action plans to senior management.

This action allows senior management to review and address the low compliance issue, ensuring that appropriate action is taken by the departments to complete investigations within the required timeframe. It also holds the departments accountable for their compliance and allows for oversight and monitoring of their progress.

By requesting action plans from the departments with low compliance, senior management can identify any challenges or gaps in the current process and provide additional support or resources as needed to improve compliance in the future. The correct answer is D.) Have departments in violation submit their action plans to senior management
