In an Incident Review, what is the primary action taken by the supervisor?

• A. The supervisor makes contact with the employee to discuss the incident
• B. The supervisor drafts a final disposition
• C. The supervisor initiates a court appearance
• D. The supervisor files a civil complaint

Answer: (A)

In an Incident Review, the supervisor’s main duty is to contact the employee involved to discuss the incident. This immediate outreach allows the supervisor to hear the employee’s account, gather facts while details are fresh, and set the tone for a fair, timely review. It also helps determine what happened and what, if any, corrective actions are needed.

The other actions are not part of the core incident-review step: drafting a final disposition comes after gathering information and deciding on outcomes; initiating a court appearance or filing a civil complaint involves legal action outside the internal review process.
