• Notification: Affected people or businesses receive the order in writing or through public notice.
• Compliance checks: Health inspectors or municipal officers may inspect premises or require records.
• Enforcement action: If non-compliance is found, officials may issue warnings, orders, tickets, or refer matters for prosecution depending on the instrument used.
