In influencing safety changes, what does Correction involve?

• A. The manager ignores near misses
• B. The manager changes production targets to reduce risk
• C. The manager makes corrections when unsafe work is observed
• D. The manager schedules extra vacation for incident-free weeks

Answer: (C)

Correction means taking immediate, practical steps to fix unsafe conditions or unsafe work practices that are observed. It’s about removing the danger right away—like securing a loose guard, repairing damaged equipment, or correcting a risky procedure so that work can continue safely. This differs from ignoring near misses, which misses chances to prevent future harm, and from broader actions like changing production targets to reduce risk or giving extra vacation as a reward, which don’t directly address a specific hazard in the moment.
