What should you do when you identify that using a TIM will expose a soldier to a hazard?

When you identify that using a Temporary Individual Monitor (TIM) will expose a soldier to a hazard, the appropriate response is to report the information. This is crucial because addressing hazards is a key element of maintaining safety and minimizing risks in any operation. Reporting ensures that the appropriate personnel are made aware of the danger and can take necessary actions, whether that involves assessing the situation further, implementing safety measures, or potentially redesigning the task or the equipment involved.

Prompt reporting allows for an immediate response to potential risks and helps ensure that soldiers are protected as effectively as possible. Additionally, it contributes to a culture of safety, where hazards are communicated and managed proactively. Consequently, documenting or changing the TIM without prior reporting could lead to missed opportunities for collective safety measures, thus emphasizing the importance of effective communication in hazard management.
