What should workers do if they are feeling unwell on the job?

When workers feel unwell on the job, the appropriate course of action is to inform a supervisor and seek medical attention if necessary. This ensures that the situation is handled professionally and safely. Reporting to a supervisor allows for proper assessment of the worker's health, helps maintain a safe work environment, and ensures that others are aware of the potential need for assistance or coverage.

If a worker were to continue working despite feeling unwell, it could lead to mistakes, accidents, or worsening of their condition, putting both themselves and their coworkers at risk. Taking an extended break without notifying anyone fails to communicate the worker's condition and can create confusion or safety concerns on the job site. Leaving immediately without reporting also overlooks the importance of communication and responsibility at the workplace, which could lead to unaddressed safety hazards. Therefore, informing a supervisor and addressing the need for medical attention is the safest and most responsible choice.
