| Reasonable Suspicion Conversation | red | I need to talk with you about specific observations from today and make sure we follow our workplace process. | Reasonable suspicion concerns require human review before employment action. |
| Attendance Pattern Conversation | yellow | I want to review the attendance pattern we are seeing and understand whether support or clarification is needed. | Accommodation or protected-leave issues should be routed to HR/legal review. |
| Safety Incident Follow-up | yellow | I am gathering facts about what happened so we can address safety and follow the policy consistently. | Safety incidents may create compliance obligations and require review. |

Opening: I need to talk with you about specific observations from today and make sure we follow our workplace process.
Documentation: Record objective observations. Note time, location, and witnesses. Route decisions to HR or safety review. Risk level selected: red.
What not to say: Do not diagnose impairment. Do not threaten discipline. Do not speculate about substance use.
Escalation: Safety-sensitive work is involved. The employee disputes observed facts. There is a possible medical explanation.
