If the inspector is not trained and documented as trained, they cannot enter the inner dangerous parts of the lab. Or they have to wait until the lab is made safe for them. You can't let just anybody into the hazardous areas.

This is about par for the course for 'instructors'. They do go by the book - they aren't trained to deviate from it. It is obvious that testing laboratories with highly-trained specialist staff need special treatment. I don't know how that can be achieved in USA, but in Britain it involves contacting the relevant authority at a senior level, thus by-passing the normal 'foot soldiers'. In fact, many such authorities direct ALL incoming enquiries initially to a senior level, because catching the special cases at the beginning leads to a much quieter life! -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
