In what circumstances should a source inspector request additional resources during an inspection?

Requesting additional resources during an inspection is appropriate when a source inspector identifies a lack of necessary information or support. This situation can arise if the inspector discovers that crucial documentation is missing or if there are insufficient personnel available to conduct a thorough inspection. The integrity and thoroughness of the inspection process depend on having access to all relevant resources, data, and expertise. It ensures that the inspection is comprehensive and meets the required industry standards. By seeking additional resources in these situations, inspectors can help maintain quality, safety, and compliance throughout the inspection process.
