Key Topic: Preventing Violations from Recurring

A company’s own actions—such as pressure to fill orders by a set date or sudden changes in volume or style—could be causing situations where suppliers require overtime, bring in additional labor using brokers or recruiters that may not be fully compliant, or subcontract to unauthorized contractors to get the work done. In many other cases, management failures and the breakdown of policies, processes, and training at the worksite are the main causes of violations, and these issues can and should be remedied. 

In the case of child labor and forced labor violations, remediation means both improving circumstances for individual child labor or forced labor victims and preventing further child labor or forced labor from occurring at the worksite.
