A Regulatory Inspector wants to speak with you.

What should you do before and after the Inspector enters the lab?

Don't allow the Inspector to enter the lab. Tell the Inspector to wait outside and you will be with him momentarily.

Welcome the Inspector into the lab while continuing to work.

Welcome the Inspector into your lab. Respond honestly and directly to the questions asked of you. Conduct yourself in a professional manner. Do not joke or be misleading.

Have the inspector wait outside and try to clean up anything in question. Invite the Inspector into your lab.

Relax and invite him/her in. Offer him/her a beverage and continue to work, while answering his/her questions. Don't hesitate to joke a little and if unsure of a question asked, try to give the best answer.
