When should I report a concern?

As you learned in the responsibilities section, you must report the observed or reported behavior or condition of an HRP-certified individual that could indicate a safety or security reliability concern. Simply put, a reliability concern is any behavior or condition that is unusual or out of the ordinary that could potentially affect a person’s ability to adhere to security and safety requirements.

Terms you should be familiar with are:

  • Reliability. An individual’s ability to adhere to security and safety requirements.
  • Safety concern. Any condition, practice, or violation that causes a substantial probability of physical harm, property loss, and/or environmental impact.
  • Security concern. Information regarding an HRP candidate or HRP-certified individual that may be considered derogatory under the criteria listed in 10 CFR §710.8.
