If you need to take your eyes off the screen for any reason, what is the recommended action?

• A. Lower screen brightness
• B. Pause task
• C. Ask someone (usually 2P or 3P) to take eyes for you
• D. Keep watching

Answer: (C)

When you need to look away from a screen, the important idea is to maintain continuous monitoring of what the display shows. Your attention is limited, and missing a critical change or indicator can lead to mistakes or unsafe outcomes. The best practice is to have someone else take over the monitoring for you, often using a two-person or three-person coverage approach. That way, you can briefly rest or attend to something else while a trained partner keeps eyes on the display and takes action if needed. Lowering brightness doesn’t solve the risk of missing important cues, and simply pausing or keeping watching yourself doesn’t provide the same safety net or workflow continuity.
