As part of the initial discussion with the Inspector, the timing/duration of the PI’s presence during the inspection should be established. Inspectors understand that PIs have obligations and it has been our experience that they will do their best to work out a schedule agreeable to everyone.
When an inspection is announced, the PI should do what they can to make their schedule as flexible as possible during the time of the inspection. The PI should plan to be available for the introductory meeting, meetings during the course of the inspection and the close out meeting.
