Which level indicates that an inspector can perform tasks independently?

The indication that an inspector can perform tasks independently corresponds to SI Level 3. At this level, inspectors are expected to have a comprehensive understanding of inspection processes and standards, allowing them to conduct assessments without the need for supervision. This encompasses high-level decision-making and the ability to manage complex inspection tasks effectively.

In contrast, SI Level 1 and SI Level 2 involve varying degrees of oversight and mentorship. Inspectors at these levels are still in the process of developing their skills and may require guidance from more experienced inspectors. Therefore, while they can contribute to inspections, they are not expected to perform all tasks independently or handle the full scope of responsibilities that come with higher-level positions.
