What should personnel do if they observe violations of regulations?

Personnel have a responsibility to maintain a safe and compliant environment, which includes actively reporting any observed violations of regulations. Reporting all violations, regardless of their perceived severity, ensures that issues are documented and addressed properly. This approach not only upholds accountability but also fosters a culture of transparency and integrity within the organization. Addressing violations seriously can prevent potential hazards or breaches in protocol from escalating into more significant problems.

Suppressing or ignoring violations undermines the regulatory framework and can lead to further infractions or an unsafe work environment. Discussing violations without taking the necessary steps to report them does not contribute to resolution and could result in a lack of accountability. Therefore, reporting all violations is crucial for maintaining compliance and safety within the organization.
