Reactive or Proactive

Slips Trips and Falls Reactive or Proactive

Can you describe the difference?

Each type of strategy has particular activities and behaviors that are useful in different situations. We can understand the basic purpose of each type of risk management as follows:

  • Reactive: mitigate severity of safety events and threats;
  • Proactive: identify safety concerns before safety events happen;
  • Predictive: anticipate future exposure based on past performance data.
