What are probing devices defined as?

• A. Used to collect contraband
• B. Tools used to measure distance
• C. Any item used to search holes, cracks or hollow areas
• D. Lighting equipment

Answer: (C)

Probing devices are defined by what they do: they are any item used to search holes, cracks or hollow areas. The point is to explore spaces that aren’t visible or easily reachable, so you can check for hazards or hidden objects before proceeding. This makes it a specific safety tool for inspection, not for collecting contraband, measuring distance, or providing light. For example, a long inspection rod or probe used to feel inside a cavity or behind a panel fits this definition because its purpose is to search and reveal what’s behind or inside, not to illuminate or measure.
