Name a fundamental safety practice related to hazard recognition taught in Week 1.

• A. Ignore hazards
• B. Always report hazards and use proper PPE when required.
• C. Only address hazards if managers are present
• D. PPE is optional

Answer: (B)

Recognizing hazards and acting on them by reporting and using the right PPE is a foundational safety habit. When you spot a potential danger, reporting it quickly lets the team fix the issue before it injures someone. Wearing the proper PPE when required protects you from the specific risks you face on the job, helping prevent injuries and keep everyone safer. Together, these practices build a proactive safety culture where hazards are addressed before they cause harm.

Ignoring hazards misses the chance to prevent harm. Waiting to address hazards only when managers are present delays action and increases risk. PPE being optional undermines protection and goes against the safety requirements designed to keep you safe.
