After an associate sustains an injury on the conveyor belt, which action should be taken first?

In the event of an injury on the conveyor belt, the priority must be the safety and well-being of the injured individual. Calling 911 if it is an emergency ensures that the associate receives immediate medical attention. Prompt action can be critical in situations where serious injuries are involved, and emergency services are equipped to provide the necessary care.

Taking this action first sets the stage for proper medical response and can prevent further complications that may arise from delaying assistance. After ensuring that emergency services are alerted, other steps like completing an injury form or informing HR can be carried out, but they should not take precedence over calling for help when someone’s health is at stake.
