Which task type describes verifying continued compliance after noncompliance has been documented?

• A. Directed task
• B. Follow-up task
• C. Routine task
• D. Emergency task

Answer: (A)

When a nonconformance is found and documented, the goal shifts to checking that the corrective actions were carried out and that the condition stays in compliance over time. This is what a follow-up task is designed for: it verifies both that the issue was addressed and that compliance persists after the initial finding. A directed task is issued with explicit instructions from a supervisor to perform a specific check or action, which may or may not relate to verifying sustained compliance. A routine task is ongoing monitoring done as part of normal operations, not triggered by a prior finding. An emergency task is reserved for urgent situations that pose an immediate risk and require rapid action.
