If a safety concern remains unresolved after reporting to your supervisor, what is the next step?

• A. Escalate to site safety officer or EHS after raising with supervisor.
• B. Ignore the concern.
• C. Discuss with a coworker only.
• D. Wait for the next annual review.

Answer: (A)

When a safety concern isn’t resolved after you’ve raised it with your supervisor, the next step is to escalate to the site safety officer or Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). Safety professionals are the people authorized to review risks, investigate conditions, and put corrective actions in place. Escalation ensures the issue gets timely, formal attention and documentation, helping protect everyone and meet regulatory and company requirements. Ignoring the concern, discussing it only with a coworker, or waiting for the next annual review delays protection and action, which can keep people at risk.
