Which phrase represents the second step in the safety steps?

• A. Respect the risk
• B. See it, own it
• C. Step up and speak out
• D. Ignore it

Answer: (B)

Noticing a safety risk and taking ownership to address it is the idea being tested. The second step is about moving from awareness to responsibility: you see a hazard and commit to taking action to keep others safe. The phrase that best captures this is the one that pairs recognizing the issue with owning the response—“See it, own it.” It communicates both observation and accountability, meaning you don’t just spot the risk, you take charge to address it, whether that means reporting it, fixing it, or guiding others to stay safe. The other options don’t fit as well. “Respect the risk” is more about attitude than taking concrete ownership or action. “Step up and speak out” highlights voicing concerns, which is important but more about communication after you’ve already recognized and owned the risk. “Ignore it” clearly contradicts safety principles.
