Staff score consequence only by dollar repair cost and ignore whether people could be seriously injured. What does a proper consequence scale include?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Cheap to fix is not the same as no big deal if someone gets hurt. Consequence is about how bad the hit is—including people—not just the invoice. Dollars are one slice, not the whole pie.
Full Explanation
Consequence scales should capture the magnitude of harm across relevant dimensions, including injury and safety impact, not solely monetary cost. Ignoring injury severity understates true consequence for many operational risks. Multi-dimensional impact criteria keep ratings aligned with organizational objectives and duty of care. Financial-only scoring is incomplete.
