    Opportunity For Improvement (OFI) = The assessed condition or activity does not fully meet current expectations.
    ...
    At Risk (AR) = The assessed condition or activity does not fully meet current expectations and as a result there is an intolerable level of risk of harm to people, the environment and/or the business.
    ...
    Not Checked (NC) = The condition or activity was not checked.
    ...
    Not Applicable (NA) = The condition or activity was not present.
