remedial measures
Steps to fix
Remedial measures are actions taken to correct, fix, or improve a problematic situation.
The phrase appears in formal contexts—legal, environmental, educational, corporate—where something has gone wrong and must be addressed: The EPA required remedial measures to clean up the contaminated site.
Remedial suggests the measures respond to an existing deficiency rather than prevent future ones.
