How should you handle a visitor who refuses to follow instructions?

• A. Escort them out by force.
• B. Allow them to proceed as they wish.
• C. Ignore the situation and continue with your work.
• D. Contact Security instead of attempting to physically force compliance.

Answer: (D)

Safety comes first: when a visitor refuses to follow instructions, you should escalate to trained personnel who can handle the situation safely. Contacting Security is the best course because they are equipped to assess risk, de-escalate tensions, and enforce site rules without exposing you or others to harm. They can intervene, document the encounter, and coordinate any necessary follow-up with management or authorities.

Trying to escort the person out by force introduces serious risk of injury and potential legal liability for everyone involved. Allowing them to proceed as they wish bypasses safety controls and can set a dangerous precedent. Ignoring the situation leaves hazards unaddressed and may put others at risk. By involving Security, you maintain a safe, professional path to resolving the issue and protecting people and operations.
