What should you do if you feel unwell while working in the shop?

If you feel unwell while working in the shop, informing a supervisor and seeking medical attention if necessary is essential for several reasons. First and foremost, workplace safety is a collective responsibility. Notifying a supervisor ensures that they are aware of the situation and can take appropriate steps to protect not only your well-being but also that of your coworkers. If your condition could be contagious or might affect your ability to operate machinery safely, the supervisor can make sure measures are taken to prevent any incidents.

Moreover, seeking medical attention can be critical, especially if symptoms could indicate a more serious health issue. By doing so, you are advocating for your health and ensuring you receive the care you may need to recover fully. A workplace must prioritize the health of its employees and having a clear protocol for when someone feels unwell helps create a safer environment for everyone.
