If a pressure gauge shows a drop in pressure, what should a Repair Party Investigator do?

When a pressure gauge indicates a drop in pressure, it is essential to prioritize safety and system integrity. Reporting the situation to the scene leader or locker leader for further investigation is the correct course of action. This decision allows for a thorough assessment of the potential causes of the pressure drop, which could stem from leaks, equipment malfunction, or other hazardous conditions.

Involving a supervisor or leader ensures that experienced personnel can evaluate the issue comprehensively. They may possess additional insights or protocols to manage the situation safely, ultimately preventing missed critical issues that could escalate into more significant problems.

By taking this action, the Repair Party Investigator contributes to the overall effectiveness and safety of the damage control response, promoting a coordinated approach to addressing potential hazards.
