Georgia Correctional Officer (CO) Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT a sign you are responsible for reporting on the OGWIIReport?

1. Signs of active infestation of subterranean termite infestation only

2. Signs of damage by wood boring beetles

3. Signs of active and previous infestation of reinfesting organisms

4. Signs of active infestation of wood decaying fungi

The correct answer is: Signs of active infestation of wood decaying fungi

The correct choice indicates a condition that is not the responsibility of the individual in charge of preparing the OGWII Report. The OGWII Report typically concerns specific types of pests and infestations, which primarily include those that actively affect structures, such as termites and wood-boring beetles. Wood-decaying fungi, while they can cause significant damage to timber and structures, do not fall under the same reporting requirements highlighted in the OGWII Report’s scope. The focus is maintaining an inventory of active infestations that pose immediate threats to buildings and their integrity. On the other hand, the other signs listed in the options represent active or previous infestations by organisms that require documentation and reporting to manage any risks they pose effectively. Understanding this distinction is crucial for correctional officers involved in maintaining safety and structural integrity, as it emphasizes the importance of following protocol for what needs to be reported versus what does not require the same level of attention in the document.
