What would you tell this employee, and what actions would you take?
An employee approaches you and says her manager just told her to do a biological survey in a secluded area of Coyote Creek, alone. She tells you that the area is not easily accessible, is frequented by the homeless, and it's a high crime area with known gang activity occurring in the past.
The employee says that the decision makes her very nervous but that her manager told her that there is no one else available to go with her, and the survey needs to get done. The employee tells you that her manager told her to make sure she goes during full daylight hours and to check back in when she gets back. As a Safety Technician, what would you tell this employee, and what actions would you take?
