"A few years ago in the plant, I saw a large spill that someone had already put cones around to prevent others from walking through it and potentially slipping. But I also noticed that several people were just going around the cones and cutting the corner because it was a faster route. Standard procedure indicates that I notify my supervisor immediately and seek guidance as to next steps. This is because I may be involved in the next steps or the supervisor may choose to contact the maintenance department to initiate next steps. He asked me to get a few more cones and block off the corner while he escalated the urgency for a clean-up with the maintenance department. He was happy that I didn't just cut the corner like the others, and that I brought it to his attention immediately."
