The __________ should be in written form and include statistical data on the business.

• A. Code requirement
• B. Inspection report
• C. Permit application
• D. Enforcement procedure

Answer: (B)

Inspection records are written documents that compile observations and numerical data about a business. After an inspection, the report provides a formal snapshot of safety conditions, listing identified violations, required corrective actions, and statistics such as the number of issues, hazard ratings, categories of findings, and timelines for remediation. Because it’s meant to document and communicate quantitative information about the business, the written inspection report is the document that should include statistical data on the business. A code requirement describes the standard itself, not a specific business’s data. A permit application gathers information to obtain authorization but isn’t focused on reporting inspection statistics. An enforcement procedure outlines steps authorities follow when violations occur, not a data-driven snapshot of a given business.
