What should be done with visitors after their visit is over?

• A. Return them to the security access point.
• B. Leave them in the lobby to collect belongings.
• C. Keep them inside the Protected Area until further notice.
• D. Give them a gift and let them leave on their own.

Answer: (A)

Returning visitors to the security access point after their visit is complete ensures proper accountability and controlled exit. This step confirms the visitor’s identity, allows the temporary access badge to be returned or deactivated, and creates a clear record of who was on site and when they left. It also prevents anyone from lingering in secure areas or attempting to re-enter without authorization. By contrast, sending someone back to the lobby without a formal sign-out, leaving them inside the Protected Area, or giving a gift and letting them leave on their own bypasses the required exit protocol and weakens overall access control.
