Why reporting matters
Safety works best when concerns are raised early. Reporting helps:
- Prevent injuries before they happen.
- Fix hazards faster.
- Protect coworkers and students.
- Improve working conditions across campus.
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t assume someone else will report it. Say something sooner. It might prevent the next incident.
