Reporting Unsafe Working Conditions

• Identification: Workers should be trained to identify unsafe working conditions such as damaged
equipment, hazardous materials, or unsafe work practices.

• Reporting: Workers should know the procedure for reporting unsafe working conditions to their
supervisor or safety officer.

• Timeliness: Workers should report unsafe working conditions as soon as possible to prevent
accidents or injuries from occurring.

• Follow-up: Supervisors or safety officers should investigate, and address reported unsafe working
conditions in a timely manner. Workers should also be informed of any action taken to address
the reported hazards.

• Non-retaliation: Workers should be assured that they will not face retaliation for reporting
unsafe working conditions. Employers should have policies in place to protect workers who
report unsafe conditions from retaliation.
