If you are unsure about the proper safety procedure for a hazardous situation, who should you contact?

• A. A co-worker
• B. The appropriate personnel
• C. The supervisor
• D. Your own instinct

Answer: (B)

When unsure about a hazardous situation, you should contact the people who are trained and designated to handle safety—those who know the current procedures and have the authority to guide or act. They can confirm the correct steps, implement safety controls, and coordinate any necessary actions to protect people and the environment. Relying on co-workers for answers can lead to outdated or incorrect guidance, and following your own instincts in a high-risk scenario can cause unsafe actions or delays. If you’re not sure who that is, follow your site’s policy to reach the appropriate safety personnel or your supervisor who can connect you with the right contact.
