  • Being open about issues and corrective actions in progress builds auditor confidence.
  • Visible respect for worker input signals a genuine safety culture.
  • Findings fall into major nonconformities, minor nonconformities, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Auditors reward honesty and penalize evasion or coaching workers to give scripted answers.
