Write private notes for yourself. Keep only facts you can explain and support.
The mapped civilian record lists this task: Recommend measures to help protect workers from potentially hazardous work methods, processes, or materials. Identify comparable experience only if you can verify it.
Also examine this mapped civilian task: Evaluate situations or make determinations when a worker has refused to work on the grounds that danger or potential harm exists. Keep it only if your own service evidence supports it.
Capture scope or outcomes only when your own records support them.

Fictional translation example
Put your experience into civilian language
Think of this as a translation, not a script. This fictional example keeps the same work facts while replacing military jargon with clear civilian wording.
Before
Fictional example: In my Safety and Environmental Health assignment, I [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
After
Fictional example: Supported [civilian work area] by [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
Why this wording is fair
Recommend measures to help protect workers from potentially hazardous work methods, processes, or materials.
Evaluate situations or make determinations when a worker has refused to work on the grounds that danger or potential harm exists.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
