Workplace Observation evaluates recognizing hazards and selecting safe, efficient actions. A leaning pallet with torn wrap and bulging cartons signals compromised stability; moving it risks product loss and injury. Option C addresses both safety and quality: you stop the task to control the hazard (communicate/cordon as needed), then restack and resecure the load to restore a stable center of gravity and proper containment. Option A ignores an obvious hazard. Option B is insufficient; rewrapping a compromised stack without correcting the internal configuration leaves instability hidden beneath the film. Option D escalates risk by adding momentum to an unstable stack. In practice, follow site procedures: notify a supervisor if required, use proper equipment (e.g., slip-sheets, corner boards), and verify weight distribution. This decision aligns with WorkKeys expectations for observing cues, prioritizing safety, and choosing corrective actions that prevent downstream defects and delays.
