Who is responsible for ensuring visitors follow plant procedures?

• A. Visitor themselves.
• B. Security personnel only.
• C. Escorts.
• D. Maintenance staff.

Answer: (C)

Escorts are responsible for ensuring visitors follow plant procedures because they are the designated guides who accompany guests through the facility and are trained to explain safety rules, verify proper PPE, and keep visitors in permitted areas. They monitor actions, enforce rules, and can stop any unsafe behavior or escalate issues to supervision. The visitors themselves must follow procedures, but without an escort, there’s no one consistently accountable for ensuring those procedures are followed. Security personnel mainly control entry and access, not ongoing day-to-day compliance during the visit, and maintenance staff focus on equipment and operations rather than supervising visitors.
