NORTHGATE MANUFACTURING — WORKPLACE SAFETY AND INCIDENT REPORTING POLICY Part A: Reporting Requirements Any workplace incident resulting in injury, near-miss, or property damage exceeding $500 must be reported to the Safety Officer within 4 hours of the incident. If the Safety Officer is unavailable, the report must be submitted to the employee's direct supervisor, who is then responsible for forwarding it to the Safety Officer within 24 hours. Failure to report within the required timeframe by the employee constitutes a Tier 2 policy violation. Failure to forward by a supervisor constitutes a Tier 3 policy violation. Part B: Incident Investigation All Tier 1 incidents (those involving hospitalization or lost-time injury) must trigger a formal investigation within 48 hours. The investigation committee must include at least one member from HR, one from the affected department, and one external safety consultant. Investigations for Tier 2 incidents (property damage or minor injury without lost time) require only an internal review, with no external consultant required. Part C: Discipline A Tier 2 policy violation (failure to report by an employee) results in a written warning for a first offense and a 5-day unpaid suspension for a second offense within 12 months. A Tier 3 violation (supervisor failure to forward) results in a 5-day unpaid suspension for a first offense and demotion for a second offense within 12 months.

At 8:00 a.m., a machine malfunction injures a worker, who is transported to the hospital and cannot return to work for two weeks. The Safety Officer is out of the office that day.

The worker himself never files a report due to hospitalization. Which of the following correctly identifies all policy violations and their classifications?
