ABSTRACT

As safety and health professionals are aware, upper management not only wants to know about the safety and health “problems” and risks but also expects the safety and health professional to have thought through the issues and identied the various options and costs as to the methods through which to rectify the problem or eliminate the risk. Bosses generally do not simply want to hear about all of the problems and risks identied by the safety and health professional without identifying the various ways in which the problem or risk can be addressed-and always the costs.
