When should you raise questions about the Rules We Live By?

• A. Only during annual reviews.
• B. When you have questions, speak up and maintain a questioning attitude.
• C. Never question while on the job.
• D. Only if a supervisor approves.

Answer: (B)

Speak up when you have questions and keep a questioning attitude about the Rules We Live By. This approach is about actively seeking clarity and understanding so you can apply the rules correctly in real work situations. When you question what you’re doing, you verify that you’re following the rule as intended, which helps prevent mistakes and unsafe actions. It also shows you’re engaged in safety and compliance, and it supports a culture where learning and improvement are continuous.

In practice, ask for clarification from the right channels—your supervisor, safety trainer, or a knowledgeable coworker—when something isn’t clear or seems risky. Questions shouldn’t wait for a formal review or require explicit approval every time; addressing uncertainty early keeps operations safer and more reliable.
