What should be done if vandalism or tampering is suspected at the plant?

When vandalism or tampering is suspected at a plant, reporting the conditions to Security is the most appropriate action. This is crucial because Security personnel are trained to handle such situations effectively. They have the expertise to assess the risk, secure the area, and initiate an investigation if necessary. Additionally, by involving Security, you help ensure that the incident is documented properly and that any potential safety risks are addressed immediately, protecting both personnel and infrastructure.

Taking action like discussing the incident with colleagues, while it may seem helpful, does not address the immediate security risk effectively. Leading an investigation team on your own lacks the training and authority to manage such security issues properly. Ignoring the situation can lead to further damage or even pose a threat to the safety of everyone at the plant. Therefore, reporting to Security ensures a proper and effective response to the situation.
