Question: 1 / 50

You are checking the roof and find a contractor working. You were unaware that contractors would be working there today. What steps should the security guard follow?

Tell him to stop working. If he continues to work, arrest him under the Trespass to Property Act

Ask for identification and verify the contractor’s presence with your supervisor. Have the contractor stop their work under the supervisor returns with an answer. If the contractor is allowed to work, leave the area and document the incident fully.

The security guard should follow option B, as it ensures that proper identification is obtained and verified with a supervisor before allowing the contractor to continue work. Option A may result in unnecessary escalation and potential legal repercussions. Option C assumes that the contractor has the necessary authorization and does not involve the supervisor in the decision-making process. Option D suggests that the security guard continue on with their patrol without addressing the situation at hand, potentially causing a security breach. Overall, option B provides a balanced and thorough approach that prioritizes safety and communication within the chain of command.

Allow them to continue, they look to have the proper identification

Continue on with your patrol but be sure to ask your supervisor about it when you get back to the security desk
