MODULE 6: DEVELOPING RECOMMENDATIONS
Answer Six Key Questions
Answer the following six questions to help develop and justify recommendations.
What will be the cost/benefits if the recommendation is approved and the predictable cost/benefits if not?
What are the estimated costs and benefits of taking corrective action, as contrasted with the possible costs and harm that might occur if the hazardous conditions and unsafe work practices remain? What are the employer obligations under administrative law? What is the "message" sent to the workforce as a result of action or inaction?
The maintenance supervisor may be able to help you determine these estimates. Also, detail the costs associated with any training that might be required.
