Passage Summary: A policy says a new process can only be approved if it has a one-year safe track record elsewhere OR if it improves safety at the current factory; the inspector rejects a process because it doesn't improve safety.

Conclusion: The safety inspector should reject the proposed new welding process.

Reasoning: The new welding process cannot be proven to increase safety at the factory.

Analysis: The policy sets up two alternative paths to approval: a proven track record elsewhere OR an increase in local safety. The application concludes the process should be rejected solely because it fails the second condition. For this conclusion to be logically sound, we must also know that the first condition was not met. Look for an answer choice that confirms the welding process has not been used safely for more than a year at another factory. Without that piece of information, the process might still qualify for approval under the first half of the rule.
