Spot Hidden Hazards Before They Injure You or Your Coworkers
Ma Hnin Si works on the cutting floor of a garment factory in Hlaing Tharyar. Last rainy season, water leaked through the roof onto the floor near the electrical sockets. She noticed it every morning but said nothing. She assumed the line supervisor already knew. One Tuesday, her coworker Ko Zaw Myo slipped on the wet floor carrying a bundle of fabric and broke his wrist. He lost three months of wages. The factory paid nothing beyond basic SSB coverage. Ma Hnin Si felt sick with guilt. She had seen the hazard for two weeks. She thought reporting it was not her place — she was just a line worker, not a supervisor. What she did not realize was that every worker in that factory had the legal right and the practical duty to flag that puddle. Ko Zaw Myo's broken wrist was not bad luck. It was a predictable injury from a visible hazard that nobody spoke about. This module teaches you to see what everyone else walks past.
