What action may an inspector take in regards to the order at the site of a maintenance inspection?

During a maintenance inspection, an inspector is responsible for ensuring that the site complies with relevant regulations and standards. Leaving a copy of the order at the site serves several important purposes. First, it provides clear documentation of the inspector's findings and any required actions to be taken by the property owner or responsible party. This transparency helps to ensure that all parties involved are aware of the issues identified during the inspection.

Additionally, leaving a copy of the order allows the responsible party to understand their obligations and any deadlines for compliance. It ensures there is a formal record that can be referred back to later if necessary, helping to promote accountability and proper follow-up on any corrective actions needed.

While actions like posting warning signs or sealing the site may be relevant in certain situations, they are not standard procedure for every inspection and depend more on the severity of issues found. Ignoring site conditions would clearly be irresponsible and contrary to the inspector's role. Thus, leaving a copy of the order is the most appropriate action that supports both communication and regulation enforcement during a maintenance inspection.
