If you see a violation of the Rules We Live By, what should you do?

• A. It’s your responsibility to not look the other way and to report it.
• B. Ignore it if there are no immediate injuries.
• C. Wait for a supervisor to notice it.
• D. Document it later after the job.

Answer: (A)

Taking personal responsibility for safety means acting right away when you see something unsafe. When a violation of the Rules We Live By is spotted, reporting it promptly allows the issue to be corrected before it causes harm. This demonstrates a commitment to a safe work environment and follows the established process so the right people can take action quickly. Immediate reporting helps prevent injuries, stops unsafe practices from continuing, and keeps everyone safer on the job.

Ignoring the situation lets the hazard persist and could lead to an accident. Waiting for a supervisor introduces delays and assumes someone else will handle it, which isn’t reliable in a fast-changing work environment. Documenting it later may miss the window to prevent harm and might not meet safety procedures that require timely reporting.
