IDRMP considerations for physical security checks include which practice?

• A. Checks are optional at all facilities
• B. BDOC is not involved in any checks
• C. Some facilities require owner/user personnel to conduct searches, owners should document and contact BDOC/ECC after checks
• D. Owner participation is mandatory with central reporting

Answer: (C)

Physical security checks in IDRMP rely on hands-on involvement by the facility owner or user in performing the required searches, with a clear need to document what was done and to contact BDOC/ECC after the checks. This approach creates accountability and an auditable trail, ensuring security leadership can verify that the checks occurred and understand the results. It also reflects that requirements can vary by facility, rather than applying universally in the same way to every site.

Other patterns—making checks optional at all facilities, removing BDOC/ECC involvement, or mandating owner participation with central reporting but without documented follow-up—don’t align with this accountable, site-specific approach.
