Documentation after witnessing unsafe action.

• A. Document what you observed.
• B. Discuss it informally with a peer and not document.
• C. Record the incident details with time, location, actions, and follow-up.
• D. Do nothing.

Answer: (C)

When you witness an unsafe action, the priority is to capture a clear, formal record of what happened. You should document the incident with precise details you can rely on later: the time and location, exactly what was observed, who was involved, what actions were taken (or not), any immediate consequences, and the follow-up steps planned to prevent recurrence. This creates a verifiable trail that supports subsequent investigation, corrective actions, and accountability, and it helps protect people and equipment. Discussing the event informally with a peer may raise awareness, but it does not replace an official record and may miss important details. Doing nothing leaves the risk unaddressed.
