What should you do when there is uncertainty regarding a procedure or situation?

Take the risky course
Consult with a supervisor
Take the safe course
Proceed with caution

The correct answer is: Take the safe course

When faced with uncertainty regarding a procedure or situation, the best course of action is to take the safe approach. This means prioritizing safety for yourself, your co-workers, and the operation as a whole. Choosing to take a risk without full understanding or clear guidelines could lead to dangerous outcomes and potential accidents. In the context of conducting freight operations, safety is of utmost importance, as it helps prevent incidents that could have serious consequences. By opting for the safe course, you ensure that you adhere to established safety protocols and procedures, reducing the likelihood of mishaps or errors that could arise from hasty decisions or actions taken without a fully informed perspective. While consulting a supervisor or proceeding with caution are also important steps in uncertain situations, taking the safe course emphasizes the need to avoid risk altogether when clarity about the situation isn’t available. This approach fosters a culture of safety and responsibility within the work environment.
