Question: 1 / 50

What is the first action you should take when you note a breach of security while on routine patrol of a site?

Disregard it because was someone probably on a previous shift

Immediately notify your supervisor of your location and the nature of the breach

When you note a breach of security, your main goal should be to ensure the safety of the people and property on the site. Option A is incorrect because it assumes that the breach was due to a previous shift, which may not always be the case. Option C is incorrect because it jumps to calling the police without first assessing the situation and contacting your supervisor, which may not be necessary in all cases. Option D is incorrect because it suggests searching the building without first reporting the breach to your supervisor and calling for backup, which could potentially put you in danger. It is always best to follow proper protocol and notify your supervisor first in case further action needs to be taken.

Call the police and look down the site

Search the building after calling for back up
