Section 425.23 - Program evaluation

(a) Quality improvement. The operator must develop and implement a quality improvement process that provides for an annual or more frequent review of the operator's program.

(2) review accident and incident reports, registrant complaints and grievances and the actions taken to address problems identified by the process;
