Use the approved route for the situation

For urgent concerns, follow the site's approved emergency procedures and reporting channels.

This page helps identify a role-based route; it is not an emergency procedure or task instruction. If a concern is urgent, use the designated local emergency channel and follow approved site procedures. For non-urgent issues, share observable facts, the affected area, and what response or clarification is needed. If the correct route is unclear, contact the shift lead.

Choose a route by need

These examples distinguish coordination needs; local approved procedures determine the actual reporting channel.
