There's a story I share about a lineman who watched his coworker bypass a step. He saw it happen. He knew it was wrong. And he said nothing.

Nothing happened that day. No injury. No incident. No report. Just a quiet moment that passed.

But it didn't pass for him. He carried it. Because he knew that the next time his coworker bypassed that step, or the time after that, or the time it finally caught up to him, he'd have to live with knowing he could have said something and didn't.

That's the weight of silence. It doesn't always show up in an incident report. Sometimes it shows up in the mirror.
