Safer field move

As a senior apprentice, you have the authority and the obligation to stop work for unsafe conditions. Document the condition, notify your foreman immediately, and do not restart until the hazard is corrected and documented.

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Accepting a jobsite condition that is unsafe rather than stopping work and escalating. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
