Can IPP complete tasks scheduled or started by another inspector?

• A. Yes
• B. It depends on the assignment
• C. Only for follow-up tasks
• D. No

Answer: (A)

In inspection workflows, tasks can be picked up and finished by a different inspector when needed to keep work moving. If a task is scheduled or started by another inspector, a qualified and authorized IPP can complete it, as long as the scope is within their duties and proper handoff procedures are followed.

This keeps the inspection on schedule and ensures issues are addressed without unnecessary delays. The key is that the new inspector understands the task details, reviews any open items or evidence, and documents the handoff and completion so the record clearly shows who finished the work and what was done. If the task falls outside the current scope or requires special authorization, then it would need appropriate approval first.
