What defines a violation as 'Class "I" '?

A violation categorized as 'Class "I"' is identified by an imminent danger to clients. This classification indicates that the violation poses a serious and immediate risk that could lead to harm or injury to clients. It reflects the severity of the situation, prompting urgent intervention to ensure client safety.

In contrast, other classifications might represent varying levels of concern or require different types of response but do not denote an immediate threat like a 'Class "I"' violation does. Understanding this classification is essential for prioritizing safety and addressing issues promptly within a specific regulatory or operational framework.
