Oklahoma Security Guard Practice Exam

You are security patrolling when you come across leaky pipes near furniture or landscaping. What condition would you consider it?

1. An immediate condition

2. A potential condition

3. An acceptable condition

4. A non-immediate condition

The correct answer is: An immediate condition

Leaky pipes in proximity to furniture or landscaping fall under the category of "an immediate condition". This is due to the potential for extensive water damage and the immediate risks it presents. Unattended leaky pipes can lead to consequences that include weakening or destruction of the furniture, damage to the landscaping, and could even increase the possibility of accidents due to slipping on wet surfaces. As a result, such conditions would require immediate attention to prevent or at least limit the damage and risks. Therefore, in the context of security surveying, it would be classified as an immediate condition.
