"I was working in a different part of the plant one day and I knew the job I had to do, but there really wasn't anyone around to be my safety lookout. Whenever we do a job that is high up on the line, someone is supposed to be at the bottom for safety reasons. I looked everywhere and couldn't find anyone to help me out, and my boss wasn't answering his radio. I knew it wasn't safe to do the job without the safety person, so I used my stop work authority to pause the job. I found my boss later that day and explained the situation and why I decided to not go forward with the job. He totally understood why I made that decision and appreciated that I kept safety at the forefront of my mind, even though we were on a tight schedule to get things done."
