Violations are when someone deliberately deviates from rules, policies or procedures. They may do this because everyone else does too or because they are taking a shortcut to work around an impractical system. An example of a violation would be ignoring all of the interaction alerts on your dispensing system even though the standard operating procedure (SOP) dictates that they should be reviewed.
