Georgia Correctional Officer (CO) Practice Exam

If damage by a WDO is noted, how should it be reported in the OGWIIReport?

1. List it in the Remarks/Additional Findings section.

2. Ignore it in the report.

3. Include it in the main findings section.

4. Submit a separate report.

The correct answer is: List it in the Remarks/Additional Findings section.

The appropriate way to report damage caused by a Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) in the OGWII Report is to list it in the Remarks/Additional Findings section. This section is specifically designed for any observations or information that may not fit into the standard reporting categories but are still relevant and important for a comprehensive understanding of the condition being reported. Including information about WDO damage in this section ensures that it is documented appropriately, without obscuring the main findings of the report. It allows for clarity and ensures that the significant issue of WDO damage is communicated to stakeholders while being organized logically within the report structure. Not addressing the damage or failing to report it in any capacity would result in incomplete documentation, which could have implications for property management and maintenance. Therefore, proper reporting through the designated section of the report contributes to better oversight and action on the findings related to WDOs.
