What is the first action to take if you notice a safety hazard in the Model Shop?

The appropriate action when noticing a safety hazard in the Model Shop is to report it to a supervisor immediately. This is crucial because supervisors are trained to handle such situations and ensure that proper corrective measures are taken. By reporting the hazard, you help maintain a safe environment for everyone in the shop, as hazards can pose risks not just to yourself but to others as well. Prompt reporting allows for quick assessment and resolution, preventing potential accidents or injuries.

Attempting to fix the problem yourself can lead to further hazards, especially if you are not trained or authorized to address the issue. Ignoring the hazard undermines the safety of the workspace and can increase the risk of an accident, while documenting it for future reference does not provide immediate assistance and may delay necessary actions. Immediate reporting is the best course of action to sustain a safe and productive environment.
