The assessor must first confirm facts with the OSC before making a determination. It is possible the technician has been granted temporary authorized access, in which case the situation may not be a violation. Therefore, the correct next step is to ask the OSC about the technician’s authorization.

Exact Extracts:

PE.L2-3.10.3: “Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity.”

Assessment Guide: “Assessors should confirm with the OSC whether individuals observed are classified as visitors or authorized personnel before determining compliance.”

“Findings must be validated with OSC-provided evidence or clarification.”

Why other options are not correct:

A: Cannot mark as MET without verifying the technician’s status.

B: Inappropriate — assessors do not direct OSC personnel or vendors.

C: Cannot mark as NOT MET without first confirming authorization.
