What should you do in the event of an accident?

In the event of an accident, it is crucial to report it to the instructor or the appropriate authority in charge. This action ensures that trained personnel are aware of the incident and can respond appropriately to manage the situation, including providing medical assistance if necessary. Reporting helps maintain a safe environment by allowing for necessary investigations and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences.

Additionally, informing an instructor or supervisor allows for accurate documentation of the incident, which can be important for safety regulations and protocol adherence. Keeping the lines of communication open about accidents fosters a culture of safety, making everyone more aware of potential hazards and reinforcing the importance of safety practices in the shop or workplace.
