UCR 101: Document the Risk and Kick the Drum

[Intro] [Spoken] Control room, mark the channel: Concern received. No person is the hazard. [Verse 1] The green lamp blinked at half past two, The queue had grown a second head, Three jobs wore one job's number, And the handoff sheet was blank again. The banjo found the downbeat Where the meeting lost the thread; We wrote down what the work was doing, Not what we guessed inside somebody's head. [Pre-Chorus] One line for what keeps happening, One line for when and where, One for what could change the work, One date to see if change is there. [Chorus] Document the risk, then kick the drum, Let the signal travel; let the right hands come. Not a verdict, not a score, not a magic stamp of proof, Just the work, the change, the check, and the people in the loop. Document the risk, then kick the drum; If the job stays hard, the job ain't done. [Verse 2] The form came back immaculate, Every little box was green; The load was still a load-bearing Tuesday afternoon machine. So who can change the schedule? Who can move the work upstream? Who has the room and authority To make the printed answer mean? [Pre-Chorus] Ask the crew that knows the pattern, Give them influence in the plan; Write the owner, write the check date, Then go see what changed in hand. [Chorus] Document the risk, then kick the drum, Let the signal travel; let the right hands come. Not a verdict, not a score, not a magic stamp of proof, Just the work, the change, the check, and the people in the loop. Document the risk, then kick the drum; If the job stays hard, the job ain't done. [Breakdown] [Blast Beats] Not the worker! The work condition! Not a wellness poster! A real revision! Name the owner! Set the check! If the fix shifts harm, Keep the issue open yet! [Bridge] If the usual door feels unsafe, Don't let the form decide; Ask who sees the words you share, Find another route beside. This little songbook isn't intake, Doesn't file or certify; It can help you sort your thinking, Then a human path is yours to try. [Final Chorus] Document the risk, then kick the drum, Let the signal travel; let the right hands come. No one gets reduced to a checkbox or a score; If the source is still at work, keep asking what it's for. Document the risk, then kick the drum; If the job gets safer, that's the change we want. [Outro] [Spoken] Status: action assigned. Authority: confirmed. Follow-up: on the calendar. Banjo: still awaiting the minutes.
