What is the proper action when asked to pass through a CAEP door?

• A. Bypass the access controls and enter without credentials
• B. Use proper credentials and escort if required
• C. Show a sign and walk through
• D. Stand aside and wait for permission

Answer: (B)

CAEP doors are secured and require verified authorization before you pass. The proper action is to use proper credentials and escort if required. Present your valid SIDA credential at the door reader, and if the policy calls for an escort, enter with a credentialed escort who is authorized for that area. This keeps a clear record of who is in restricted space and ensures you’re permitted to be there. Bypassing access controls or entering without credentials would defeat the security system and isn’t allowed. Simply showing a sign doesn’t prove clearance, and standing by waiting for permission without following the credentialing process can delay operations. If you’re unsure or don’t have the right credentials, wait for the authorized escort or supervisor and follow the established procedure.
