During the Inspection

The inspection is usually performed by two inspectors from the MDAR.

While the inspection is underway, you should:

  • Review 330 CMR 30.00 section 30.05

  • Take notes or consider asking to record the visit

  • Ask for things in writing

  • Clarify what is a requirement and what is a suggestion

  • Ensure the inspectors follow your quarantine protocols such as wearing foot coverings

It is not uncommon for the inspectors to take pictures. Once completed, the examiners will follow up in writing with a list of things to fix. From there, the standard timeline to resolve the items is 10 days. Once completed, the inspectors will return and reinspect.

If needed, you can challenge the violations/remedies with reasonable rationale (such as best practices that state otherwise).
