When you identify a potential safety hazard in a ride loading area, what is the first step?

• A. Immediately stop work, secure the area, notify a supervisor, and document the hazard per iROC procedures.
• B. Continue work and report after shift.
• C. Notify a supervisor only.
• D. Document hazard at the end of shift.

Answer: (B)

When you spot a potential safety hazard, the first step is to stop work, secure the area so no one can be harmed, and immediately notify a supervisor while documenting the hazard per iROC procedures. This immediate action protects people from exposure, preserves the situation for proper investigation, and ensures the issue is tracked and corrected. Continuing work or waiting to report delays protection and can lead to preventable injuries, so those options aren’t appropriate.
