Which action is proper to report unsafe or harmful acts or conditions?

• A. Report unsafe or harmful acts or conditions to their employer/supervisor
• B. Do nothing
• C. Wait until a major incident occurs
• D. Report to a coworker only

Answer: (A)

Reporting unsafe or harmful acts or conditions to your employer or supervisor ensures hazards are addressed through the proper channels. This starts corrective actions, assigns responsibility, and creates a traceable record for follow-up, helping prevent harm to you and others. It also aligns with safety policies and legal obligations and supports a culture where concerns are openly raised and acted on. Reporting to a coworker alone may not trigger the necessary authority or timely action, while doing nothing or waiting for a major incident leaves people at risk and misses the opportunity to fix problems before they cause harm.
