2)  Two Reindear had been briefly seen by inspectors chewing on wool yarns in knitting station number two.  Inspector notes, that he was distracted on purpose by singing and dancing and after turning back around the reindeer were gone.  When the issue was addressed with Santa Claus, Mr. Claus indicated that this was not possible and reindear are never permitted in the knitting facility.

3)  In the embroidery building number 6, one fire detector was low on batteries.  It was functioning, but this needs to be watched carefully.

4)  Elves had been witnessed dancing down the isles; leading to risking conditions.  No dancing signs are clearly posted, but managers are not monitoring for compliance.

Note: After this report was filed, it has come to our attention that the inspector was actually a "Troll" in disguise.  This is NOT a valid report.  We have determined that this jealous troll was simply attempting to cause trouble.  He had made up the details in this report.  We have conducted several new inspections of Santa's workshops and find absolutely NO violations of any kind.
