Life just keeps getting more and more complicated. Between advancements in industrial technologies, increasing productivity pressures and a general "need-for-sped," most safety professionals are constantly adjusting their thinking and process. Today, simply keep up with advancements in emergency equipment design and specification, as well as safety regulations and standards, can be a full-time job. If considered in a logical sequence, however, it is easier to methodically move toward the proper conclusions. In safety management, one of the best thought progressions to use is to consider your risks, develop a clear understanding of your needs with respect to mitigating those risks, and then consider the alternatives to meet those needs.
