Working while rushed and unsure instead of stopping

If you are rushed and unsure, stop long enough to ask. Speed does not fix wrong work or unsafe work.

Stop if

• I'm not sure about this next step. Can you verify it before I do it wrong?

Watch out

• Do not keep moving because you feel embarrassed or pressured.

Check

• Pause before the point of no return.
• Identify exactly what you are unsure about.
• Check drawing/detail/field condition.
• Ask a specific question.
• Restart only when the next step is clear.

Steps
