How should you handle restricted areas and unauthorized access?

• A. Enter restricted areas with authorization; report unauthorized access
• B. Do not enter restricted areas; obtain proper authorization; report any unauthorized access
• C. Ignore posted signs
• D. Ask a supervisor on the spot

Answer: (B)

Access to restricted areas is controlled to protect people and assets. You should never enter a restricted area unless you have the proper authorization for that area. If you need access, obtain that authorization before proceeding. If you observe unauthorized access or someone else in a restricted area, report it to your supervisor or the airport security team right away. This approach reduces safety and security risks and keeps operations compliant. Ignoring posted signs is unsafe, and while checking with a supervisor on the spot can help, it doesn’t replace having valid authorization before entering.
