You are an Able Seaman working alongside a colleague who has removed his safety harness while working at height "because it's slowing him down." You are not his supervisor. What is the appropriate action?

A. Speak up directly and immediately — point out the risk and ask him to refit the harness; if he refuses, stop the job and report it to the supervisor/officer in charge. Staying silent because "it's not your job to police him" is not an acceptable option under a genuine safety culture

B. Report it anonymously without speaking to him directly first, to avoid any awkwardness

C. Say nothing, since intervening is not part of your role and only supervisors should raise safety issues

D. Quietly continue your own work and assume he knows the risks better than you do

A. Stop the job immediately — safety always overrides schedule. Speak to the crew member directly, calmly find out why (genuine equipment issue, complacency, time pressure), and require the harness to be worn correctly before work resumes

B. Remove the crew member from the task permanently with no further conversation

C. Let the job continue to avoid delaying the work, and address the harness issue afterwards

D. Immediately issue a written disciplinary warning without first speaking to the crew member

A. Dismiss the crew member from the ship immediately with no formal process

B. Have exactly the same informal conversation as before, with no escalation or record kept

C. Ignore the repeat occurrence since it was already addressed once

D. Escalate formally — issue a documented verbal warning (recorded in line with the ship's disciplinary procedure), clearly explain the consequences of continued non-compliance, and inform the master, since a repeat safety violation after a direct conversation is more serious than a first-time lapse
