What must be reported immediately to a supervisor?

• A. A routine maintenance schedule.
• B. A broken dashboard light.
• C. Malfunctioning or inoperable vehicle locking devices.
• D. A standard fuel level.

Answer: (C)

Issues that affect security and safety should be reported right away. If the vehicle’s locking devices malfunction or are inoperable, the vehicle can’t be secured, creating immediate risks of theft, loss of equipment, or harm to people. That kind of vulnerability demands supervisor awareness so the vehicle can be taken out of service or repaired promptly.

Routine maintenance schedules are part of regular planning and aren’t an immediate safety risk. A broken dashboard light could indicate a fault but isn’t as directly tied to security as locking devices. A standard fuel level is normal and requires no urgent action.
