During an inspection, what should LMP do regarding their findings?

The correct approach during an inspection is to document all findings and areas unable to be inspected. This practice ensures a comprehensive record of the inspection has been created, reflecting not just what was found, but also what could not be assessed. This is crucial for thorough communication with stakeholders, such as clients and future inspectors, since it provides context about the condition of the system as well as any limitations encountered during the inspection.

Furthermore, documenting areas that are hard to inspect maintains transparency and accountability in the inspection process. This thoroughness helps in maintaining safety standards, as it allows for potential follow-up inspections or repairs to be precisely targeted to those uninspected areas.

The other choices fall short of best practices because they either advocate ignoring potential issues, limit documentation to only risks associated with gas leaks, or suggest that findings should only be reported to authorities, which undermines the importance of clear, comprehensive communication in the overall safety and compliance process.
