What should an operator do if the original operator license is lost?

• A. Notify NTC and file for a duplicate copy immediately
• B. Reapply for a new license
• C. Continue to operate until replacement arrives
• D. Notify the supervisor only

Answer: (A)

Losing the operator license means you no longer have the official document that proves you’re authorized to operate. The proper, immediate action is to contact NTC and start the process to get a duplicate copy issued. This ensures you have a valid credential on hand and prevents anyone from claiming you’re authorized when you’re not. You should not continue to operate without the official license, and simply notifying a supervisor isn’t enough to fulfill regulatory requirements. Reapplying from scratch can take longer than obtaining a duplicate, so the quickest path is to notify NTC and file for the duplicate right away. Once the duplicate is issued, you can resume duties with proper documentation.
