Required section · Section 6 of 6

What this supports, and what it does not

A hazard is controlled because it can hurt someone or expose them, not because it carries a particular legal identifier or priority. Before crossing a damp walkway, control it. Before touching damaged wiring, stop and isolate if the plug is unsafe to reach. Use the trained emergency or qualified-person route when the safe action exceeds your scope.

Local procedure determines who may fight a fire, replace sharps containers, perform lockout/tagout, repair equipment, and receive reports. Those boundaries change the action; confirm them before the situation forces a choice.

Recognize the consequence, make the area safe without creating a second victim, and escalate when the control requires authority or equipment you do not have.

Knowledge check 1

The microtome blade and sharps container were corrected before anyone was injured. Should the finding still be reported?

Choose one option.

Yes, as a near miss through the local incident-reporting policy, since no injury occurring does not mean no risk occurred

No, since no one was actually injured there is nothing to report

Only a verbal mention to a coworker is needed, not a written report

Only if the same finding happens again on a later walk-through
