If you call to submit an ASAP report, what is the extended deadline?

• A. 3 days
• B. 24 hours from the event
• C. 1 week
• D. Immediately

Answer: (A)

When reporting safety issues through the ASAP process, the system uses a specific window that accommodates gathering facts after the event. If you choose to submit by calling in, you have up to three days after the event to file the report. This extended deadline helps you gather needed details, talk to witnesses, and verify what happened, while still keeping the report timely enough to be useful for safety analysis. Submitting immediately isn’t required here, and extending beyond three days isn’t part of this reporting path—the three-day window is the practical balance for a phone-based ASAP submission. For example, if something occurs on Monday, you can complete the report by Thursday when you call in.
