What should you do if a fixed post check reveals issues with a door or entrance?

• A. Report the issue
• B. Ignore it
• C. Reset the alarm without reporting
• D. Log out

Answer: (A)

When performing fixed post checks, treat every door or entrance as a critical point, and any abnormal condition must be reported promptly so it can be evaluated, repaired, and logged. Reporting ensures the issue gets the proper maintenance and security attention, preserves an audit trail, and confirms that temporary safety measures or access controls are put in place until the problem is fixed. This keeps the facility secure and reduces the risk of a breach or failure at a key access point. Ignoring the issue creates vulnerability, resetting the alarm without reporting could mask the problem and violate procedures, and logging out does not address the physical defect or security risk.
