Quick Answer

Yes. Knowingly failing to report serious workplace concerns may result in corrective action.

Maintaining a safe, respectful, and professional workplace is a shared responsibility.

Corrective action may occur when someone:

Witnesses serious misconduct and chooses not to report it
Ignores safety risks, threats, or prohibited behavior
Fails to escalate concerns they are aware of

This expectation is especially important for supervisors and leaders, but applies to all team members.
