What should be done if a bear has been marked with a tempilstik during inspection?

When a bear has been marked with a tempilstik during inspection, reporting the temperature is crucial because it serves as a formal record of the condition of the equipment. The tempilstik is used to indicate whether the temperature of a surface has exceeded a specific threshold, which can be essential for maintaining safety and operational integrity. By reporting the temperature, personnel can ensure that any necessary follow-up actions can be taken, such as assessing potential damage or determining if further inspections are required.

Monitoring for temperature fluctuations and inspecting again within an hour can be valuable actions, but they are secondary to the immediate requirement of reporting the temperature measurement. This documentation allows for tracking changes over time and supports safety protocols, ensuring that all necessary information is available for decision-making regarding the equipment's status.
