"Prevention Methods" and "Prevention Controls" seem to me to be the same thing. Does anyone have any advice?
PS: It's good to see the October 2016 SQF 8 edition finally arriving.
Hi Tadelong,
Not sure whether there is a specific context to yr query but offhand, semantically, IMO -
"Prevention control" is not "proper" written English. "Prevention method" could be.
ie what does "prevention control" actually mean ? Control of prevention ? prevention of control ?
Try Googling each of them to see examples of their usage (or not).
PS - IMO none of the 4 sample sentences are fully correct English as written. Opinions may differ. :smile:
Re-reading the code and the nonconformance responses, I think that it is just a mistake on SQFi's part.One is for the documentation, the other for the implementation. Thanks, Charles.
Actually one of the sets is for the Auditor.
